Since we are a college library, we do not get as many fiction books as the public library. But every once in a while something impresses me and I decide to get it. We received 4 such books today. They will be on the new books shelf for a few days and then off to the fiction section.
People of the Whale (by Linda Hogan) is the story of a Native American Vietnam Vet who is torn between two worlds and two perceptions of who he should be. Set in the pacific Northwest, this book will be relevant to many members of our campus.
Couch (by Benjamin Prazybok) is the story of three college students who get kicked out of their apartment with only their couch. This books is fun and imaginative.
In the Land of No Right Angles (by Daphne Beal) is an American student's adventures in Nepal. Well written and adventurous, this book is full of friendship, love and lust.
Then She Found Me (by Elinor Lipman) was recently made into a movie. The novel tells the story of a famous mother finding her daughter long-ago adopted. It is captivating and endearing.
