Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
By Robert Persiq
Our Shelf Talker
A cult classic in 1974. It is, on the surface, a book about Robert Persick and his son, age eleven, who took a motorcyle trip from St. Paul, Minnesota to San Francisco, California. Although the book becomes quite philosophical and forces the reader to rethink important issues that are timely now, one does not have to be a student of philosophy to enjoy the book.

Zeitoun
By Dave Eggers
Our Shelf Talker
This book is about a family who has lived in New Orleans for thirty years.They are of Islamic origins. The father is a painter. When Hurricane Katrina struck, the wife and kids left but the father stayed. This is his story about the damage and awful things done to a handful of people. The combination of physically being in the “Third world” and maybe criminally being in the
“Third world” is how Eggers chooses to define this story. It is engaging from beginning to end.

Winesburg Ohio
By Sherwood Anderson
Our Shelf Talker
This collection of short stories published in 1919 began the career of the writer who influenced Faulkner and Hemingway. It took him years to get this book published and once published, it garnered terrible reviews. Anderson took the risk of addressing the sexual liberation of women in 1919 and this was unheard of at the time. This is a beautiful portrait of a sad place in American culture.- Lee from the Faith Middleton Show

Wild Child
By T.C. Boyle
Our Shelf Talker
TC Boyle was recently at the store with his new book which is a collection of short stories. The main story, almost a novella, is about the boy from the 19th century who was retrieved from the forest. Boyle is an extremely satirical writer with such a strong sense of the absurd and in the story he makes you think about what is civilized and what is uncivilized. As a reader you just have to go with it. You can’t judge. You will be enlightened at the end of it.- Roxanne
