And don't forget Stephanie Plum!! Haha!
Sandy - There are so many Plum books I decided just to list Janet Evanovich as writing about the state.
The Wonderful Life of Oscar Wao is one of my all time favorite "gateway" books. Some guy claims not to like reading and I hand him that one. Works every time.
Nikki - I am planning on reading it this year. I can't believe I've waited so long.
