Never Let Me Go
by
Ishiguro, Kazuo
"Once again, Kazuo Ishiguro has written a haunting, mystifying novel of friendship, memory, repression, and love. The reader enters the world of Ruth, Kathy, and Tommy, who live at a remote English private school, Hailsham, where they are sheltered from the 'real' world. When they do eventually enter the outside world, they must explore and face the underlying purpose of their lives at Hailsham. Mesmerizing from the first sentence." --Patti Pattee, Watermark Book Co., Anacortes, WA

Quote of the Day
"Of all the inanimate objects, of all men's creations, books are the nearest to us, for they contain our very thought, our ambitions, our indignations,
our illusions, our fidelity to truth and our persistent leaning toward error."

American Gods
by
Gaiman, Neil
Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a mysterious stranger offers him a job. But Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is coming -- a battle for the very soul of America . . . and they are in its direct path.
One of the most talked-about books of the new millennium, "American Gods" is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.
