Whatcha Readin'

[Elainemmbell at aol.com]

I'd like to recommend as particularly timely and delicious read, Mark 
Helprin's 1991 novel, A Soldier of the Great War.

Also a favorite that I think reads particularly well now is Salman Rushdie's 
1999 novel, The Ground Beneath Her Feet.  

I also unhesitatingly recommend anything else by either of these 
devastatingly insightful, humane, piercingly human writers. (e.g., Helprin: 
Memoirs From Antproof Case, Winter's Tale ; Rushdie, Satanic Verses, Fury)

Not as an afterthought there is nothing Anthony Burgess ever wrote, except 
perhaps, A Clockwork Orange, that couldn't bear rereading many times, with 
the original Enderby leading the list!
