Trans-Sister Radio
Chris Bohjalian

Vintage, 2001

Trans-Sister Radio
I thought this was a good TG book, It was Dana Stevens transition story, written by a third party. It had a surprising ending (at least if you didnt already know what actually happened to her). It didn't cover as many details about the transition, as it was more ...
  
  











  



  
Before You Know Kindness
Chris Bohjalian

Vintage, 2005

deceptively simple
This book, on the surface, is simple, straightforward and plot-driven. But the real power comes from its understatement. It is a beautifully-written and conceived story that reveals the complexity of human nature and yields a powerful statement about what is ...
  
  











  



  
The Law of Similars
Chris Bohjalian

Vintage, 2000

A good read; not his best...
I've read nearly everything Bohjalian has written to date. He continues with the exceptional method of writing in this book, yet it doesn't quite measure up to his others. If you haven't read any Bohjalian yet, this may not be the one to start with. Try Midvies (5 ...
  
  











  



  
The Buffalo Soldier: A Novel

Held my attention from beginning to end.
I LOVED this book. The story line and character development where very well done. You could truly feel each character's personality and plight. I also enjoyed how history on the buffalo soldier was weaved throughout the book. Great read -- kept my attention from ...
  
  











  



  
Water Witches
Chris Bohjalian

Touchstone, 1997

Great Fiction, As Usual From Chris Bohjalian
Water Witches is an excellent tale, intertwining dowsing, environmental awareness and Grisham-ish legal twists! Bohjalian's books are invariably well-researched and full of interesting tidbits- and his characters never fail to be engaging and vivid. If you are a Jodi ...
  
  











  



  
Skeletons at the Feast
Chris Bohjalian

Shaye Areheart Books, 2008

WOW
This was the best book I have read in ages; could not put it down. Four weeks later, I am still thinking about the characters of this wonderful novel.

Idyll Banter: Weekly Excursions to a Very Small Town
Chris Bohjalian

Harmony, 2003

The Personal, Concentrated, Becomes Universal
Much as I love novels, there are times when short, pithy, engaging non-fiction is exactly what I feel like reading. And I am well aware that there are damned few writers in the world who can claim mastery of both forms. Chris Bohjalian is one such writer, and "Idyll ...

Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe (Modern Library Classics)
George Eliot

Modern Library, 2001

Return to Raveloe
Silas Marner is a skillfully crafted novel to be enjoyed by readers with varied tastes. It was written by a woman, who found it necessary to use a man's name because of attitudes in England in the nineteenth century. It is built around problems that all of us face in ...
