When Will There Be Good News?
By Kate Atkinson
Since I have enjoyed earlier
novels by Kate Atkinson, I
am surprised that I didn’t get
around to reading this novel
until it came out in paperback..
One of the interesting things
that I have read about Atkinson’s
novels is that no one seems to
know exactly how to classify them.
Sometimes her books are shelved
in stores as mysteries and in
others in general fiction which
is what we have done. In some respects, there are
elements of mystery in all good stories. more...

The Checklist Manifesto
By Atul Gawande
The Checklist Manifesto by
Atul Gawande is subtitled
“How to Get Things Right.”
After reading the book, I
thought that anyone involved
in any kind of organization
or any position where you
have to work with other
people should read this book.
Gawande’s principle is simple:
a clear, usable checklist helps
people remember steps to be
taken, routine steps that could
be easily overlooked. more...

Noah’s Compass
By Anne Tyler
Anne Tyler’s books are
always filled with characters
who are equally humorous
and poignant. Her most
recent novel, Noah’s Compass,
is about sixty-one-year-old
Liam Pennywell who has
just lost his job teaching
fifth grade at St. Dyfrig’s,
a private boys’ school. Liam
thinks that perhaps this is a sign,
a sign that it is time to prepare
for the final stage of life.
He imagines sitting in his rocking
chair in his new, smaller apartment, reflecting on
the past and trying to understand all of the choices
that have led him to this point. more...
