Summer Reading and the Living is Easy

There's still time to pick up a Summer Reading List or 70! But which Coast do we trust, East or West?

New York Times is all about the ladies.

L.A. Weekly includes plenty of excerpts and dares to tell us how fiction works.

Okay, so I'm a bit biased toward California. Maybe that's because my local branch has been having some spectacular author talks this summer. Unfortunately I missed Janet Fitch (White Oleander) on July 10th, but I'm hoping to catch sci-fi legend Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and oh, a million more) on August 31st. I have the feeling the event will be packed.
