It's not the New York Times Bestseller List (no romance novels and few mysteries or pulp horror reviews) or the Critic's picks (why are these awards often for erudition rather than decent storytelling?) - these are the thoughts and recommendations of a lifetime reader who just might be able to help other bibliophiles sort through the massive choices out there for the golden ones. This reader is happy to take suggestions as well.

July Reads Borrows Boughts
Summer flus led to a limited reading list this month but the selection at least held some diversity. I read many a graphic novel this month to complete my Top Ten List , then finished off a memoir, non-fiction science book & a girly beach read. None of the latter make it into my 'must-read' list but they were all somewhat entertaining. I'd recommend Tina Fey's Bossypants out of the lot for some really great laughs and a very human insight into her dazzling self.
