 |  L.A. Outlawsby T. Jefferson Parker One of my favorite all-time writers with perhaps his most intriguing and simply cool story to date. I can't say too many great things about Jeff and his writing. If you haven't read him, you're in for a treat. And if you're already a fan, this one's a complete winner. Though the year is young, L.A. Outlaws is already on my shortlist for book of the year. |
 |  The Book of Air and Shadowsby Michael Gruber A fascinating, intelligent, beautifully written novel about a lost Shakespeare manuscript. I know this may sound slightly effete and labored, but in fact the plot is fast moving and labyrinthine, and the brilliant main character is as complicated and dark, original, and human as any I've encountered in fiction. A real tour de force of storytelling. |
 | by William Poy Lee A poignant and—to me—surprisingly dramatic account of a Chinese boy and his immigrant mother, and coming of age in America. This is not the kind of book I'm typically drawn to, but the interspersed stories of William Lee and his mother weave a compelling magic spell that transcends ethnicity even as it celebrates it. Excellent stuff. |
