Deed to Death Review
Just days before their wedding, Scott Chadwick plunges to his death in what authorities are calling a suicide. Fiance Toni Matthews believes otherwise and sets out to prove it.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

Perfect Lives by Polly Samson

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1860499929/mewo-20

As the summer winds down, my attention span starts to fragment, and I turn to short fiction and magazine articles for my reading material. Polly Samson's collection of 11 short stories is perfect. Published in the UK in 2010, it was the Sunday Times Fiction Choice of the Year and was released in the U.S. in February.

As seems the norm these days, the stories are each complete on its own but are linked by character to create an overarching narrative. (Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge is another example, and even Téa Obreht's novel, The Tiger's Wife, reads like interwoven separate stories.) So far I've only read the first story, "The Egg," which centers on the author's favorite character. Celia Idlewild is preparing breakfast-in-bed for her husband Graham when a disturbing parcel is pushed through the letter box on the door: a raw egg. Its yolk spreading slimily on the floor, its broken shell bears a message that shatters Celia's morning.

Samson writes lyrically, which is not surprising once you know that she co-wrote lyrics to The Division Bell with her husband, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. I'm looking forward to the rest of the book, and the best thing is, I can read it one story at a time.

What is the most boring classic novel of all time?

At last, here is our official Top Five Most Boring Classic Novels of All Time:

Silmarillion - J. R. R. Tolkien (1977)
Tender is the Night - F. Scott Fitzgerald (1934)
War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy (1869)
Iliad - Homer (7th or 8th century BC)
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck (1939)

Who is the most original, complex, interesting female character in literature?

The voting for the most soporific classic brought up some thought-provoking side topics. A remark about Twilight led to a discussion of Bella Swan and Nabokov's Lolita, and ended with my asking: Where are all the Harry Potters for the girls?

Actually, psychologist and literary critic Lucy Pollard-Gott has compiled a list of the most influential characters in literature and legend worldwide. They are ranked in her 2010 book, The Fictional 100. Only one woman made the top 10: Eve. Not exactly a character in literary fiction! Although the list certainly has international appeal, the most modern women in it are Scarlett O'Hara and Toni Morrison's Beloved.

So I'm curious: what fictional girl or woman gives Hamlet, Huck, Harry, and Holden Caulfield a run for their money? Please share your thoughts on the forum!

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

The Winter of Our Disconnect by Susan Maushart

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1846684641/mewo-20

A non-fiction book this time, which attracted me with its Shakespeare allusion of a title and its subtitle: "How one family pulled the plug on their technology and lived to tell/text/tweet the tale." Insipired by a re-reading of Thoreau's Walden, single-parent Maushart convinced her three teenagers to participate in a six-month "digital detox" with her. Six months without their laptops/desktops/iPod/iPhone/Blackberry! That's impressive. Her gaming-maniac son Bill goes back to reading: Harry Potter, Outliers, Kafka on the Shore. Her daughter Anni cooks dinner - coconut fish curry, lasagna - and compiles a family cookbook, writing down, using pen and paper, family recipes dictated to her. Maushart writes convincingly, peppering her observations with the wicked humor of a seasoned columnist. An excerpt from a journal entry reads:

"Arrived home just before B. - who spookily enough (given yesterday's entry) watched and chatted while I cooked dinner.... READ ME HIS ENTIRE ENGLISH SYLLABUS. Does that sound normal to you?"

I'm also enjoying the fact that I can dip into this book in parts and chapters, gleaning its wisdom in between sessions of surfing the web - I mean, reading The Odyssey. In print, of course.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

Do you miss writing letters by hand?

The quotation and books mentioned in this newsletter have to do with a recent conversation with a friend in which my husband and I recalled writing letters. Our friend is in her late teens; she had no idea what we were talking about. Don't you miss receiving a handwritten letter - unfolding the paper, savoring page after page, and then reading it all over again? E-mail is just so different.

Many classic authors are famous for writing long letters that are almost literary works in their own right: Flaubert, Dickens, Twain, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Woolf. Reading their published correspondence, we see them as ordinary people, men and women who worked at their craft. It seems a shame that writers of our time won't be leaving behind such richness of material.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0425232204/mewo-20

Not being a fan of the multiple-perspective novel, I skimmed whole chapters of this one to stay on Aibileen's and Minny's stories. The buzz surrounding the just-released movie version includes questions of how the author, who is white, could assume the voices of these narrators, who are black. My quibble is simpler: Skeeter's story is boring. As the aspiring journalist who wants - and succeeds in getting - to help the help to publicize their experience, Skeeter tells her side of the story earnestly. This makes for a mundane plot strand. It's the sharp subtext of Aibileen's interactions at work and the comic undertone of Minny's that enliven their narratives.

Before I Go to Sleep by S. J. Watson

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0857520180/mewo-20

Like Leonard in the movie Memento, Christine is suffering from amnesia so severe that all her memories are erased every night. She relies on her husband to explain her life to her, every single morning. Then comes a phone call from Dr. Nash, who says she has been undergoing tests which are looking promising. And yet, Christine has not told her husband. Why?? Much of what ensues is a story within a story, as Christine catches up on the moments she has recorded in a journal which is part of her treatment. That we are mirroring her actions is one of the neat things about the way the story is told. Like the best of mystery writers, Watson lets us figure things out with the characters and gives us a payoff worth staying up for. This is true even if the resolution is clearly mindful of the novel's big-screen potential - it's already been optioned by Ridley Scott's production company.

Where do your books go?

I love the look and feel of books too much to get a digital reading device, but here's the problem: I'm fast running out of shelf space for future reads. So how do I keep the books I don't want to keep, out of the world's landfills? They go to four places.

First, there's my workplace lending library. I got Robert Goddard's Past Caring, one of the most enjoyable beach reads I can remember, from these very shelves.

Second, I give them away. I know it sounds cheap to give away unwanted books to unsuspecting, grateful recipients, but rest assured I take their reading preferences into account. Not to mention the shape the gift is in - no coffee rings or dog ears.

The third place my books go to is anywhere they are wanted. Two of my students spent part of their summer in Ghana, working at an orphanage and donating dozens of books from our school community. A quick online search turns up many non-profit organizations that accept donated books: Better World Books, Room to Read, Books for Africa, Open Books, First Books, Thriftbooks. It's nice to think I'm helping to promote literacy while recycling my used books.

Finally, there are the hotels. If you've seen Goddard's Past Caring, Anita Shreve's Eden Close or Agatha Christie's Seven Dials Mystery on a recent vacation, it might just be the copy I left behind!

What about you - what happens to your used books? I'd love to hear your ideas.

BOOKS ON MY NIGHT STAND

The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0753827409/mewo-20

An award-winning first novel, this is the story of a doctor, her beloved grandfather, the enigmatic "deathless man," and the title character. These are the major players, but many other characters appear in chapters alternating with the narrator's story.

Having grown up under the threat, followed by the actuality, of civil war in the Balkan region, Natalia became a doctor like her grandfather - a noble profession in a land of pain and suffering. She is on her way to an orphanage across the border when she receives news that her grandfather has died, not at home but miles away, in a village no one can place on the map. Natalia's adventures unfold as she recalls stories of her grandfather's childhood, which was full of wondrous events and brutal people.

Téa Obreht, who at 25 became the youngest winner of the Orange Prize back in June, has a flair for the poetic and an affinity for mythical settings. The influence of Latin American authors, acknowledged at the back of the book, is evident in the tale of the deathless man, which adds a dimension of magic realism to the grandfather's past. It's this narrative strand, not the main one about the tiger's wife, that captured my interest. Unfortunately, it's the thinnest strand in this bag of many yarns.

Still, The Tiger's Wife is a very impressive debut. If Obreht has any more stories in her notebook after this, she certainly is a writer to look out for in the future.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

What is the most boring classic novel of all time?

Isn't that an intriguing question? It was on a 1950 Columbia University Press survey, according to columnist Jennifer Schuessler of the New York Times Book Review ("Inside the List," July 31). The top five answers? Quite a few allegories:

Pilgrim's Progress - John Bunyan (1678)
Moby Dick - Herman Melville (1851)
Paradise Lost - John Milton (1667)
The Faerie Queene - Edmund Spenser (1590)
The Life of Samuel Johnson - James Boswell (1791)

Possibly it's the didactic nature of allegories that ruins a good story. The survey was directed at teachers, librarians and booksellers - and they should know what they're talking about.

But what book would you choose? Send in your selection via the comment box on my bio page, or post it on the forum. I'll compile a top five of our own for next week's newsletter.
