I loved Wicked and gave it to everyone I knew a few years ago. I'd add Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer: A Novel by Sena Jeter Naslund and Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the American West by Stephen Ambrose. Great question!

My top 5 to buy: 1. "The New York Trilogy" by Paul Auster, esp. "City of Glass" 2. "The Passion" by Jeanette Winterson, or "Written on the Body" if "The Passion" wasn't in stock 3. "The Eight" by Katherine Neville 4. "Dickens' Fur Coat and Charlotte's Unanswered Letters" by Daniel Pool. Not a work of fiction but a great read. 5. "Louisiana Power & Light" by John Dufresne (love, love, love him) It isn't the same as my top 5 favorite books of all time, but my favorite contemporary authors are there. What fun this was! Are you going to the Circles one year anniversary pot luck? I’d like you to know that this question kept me from getting much work accomplished this afternoon.
