   Shalom Adam,

   These are the two I’m recommending to people now:

   Sex Wars by Marge Piercy, and
   Stonehenge by Bernard Cornwell.

   What have you got for me?

   B’shalom,

   Jeff

   Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich
   Ordinary Resurrections by Jonathon Kozol and
   A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide by Samantha Power for a little unlight reading.

   “Kafka on the Shore” or “Sputnik Sweetheart” by Haruki Murakami are two favorites of mine read in recent years.

   Thanks for your suggestions, everyone!

   I suggest that everyone read Peace by Gene Wolfe.
