Careless Whispers (St. Martin's True Crime Library)
Carlton Stowers
St. Martin's True Crime, 2001
Careless Whispers
+ Excellently Written True Crime Mystery!!!!
+ 3 Psycho Killers, 3 Innocent Teenagers, & 1 Determined Cop Makes For Great Reading!
I checked this book out at the library, and when I learned a friend of mine (and co-worker) was one of the prosecutors in the book, I purchased it online. Also, the story was powerful and "close to home" since I was born in Waco and all my aunts and uncles still live there. I buy every book I can ...

The Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger
Little, Brown and Company, 1991
Will stick with you
+ Best Banned Books Required Reading List
This is the kind of book that people of all ages remember their whole lives. It's indescribable how the story can sweep you off into Holden's life, the angst he feels, and the time in which he lived. Truly a great work that is worth reading if you have not and worth reading again if you have.

The Love Hexagon
William Sutcliffe
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2000
Hilarious, and so true
+ First book I've read by Sutcliffe, and despite the other reviews I liked it quite a bit...
An entertaining dissection of the workings of the soul of 3 British (very British) couples. I particularly enjoyed how the author shows the vanity of his characters who go at extraordinary lenght not to be "found out" -- not realizing that they didn't fool anybody in the first place. It takes depth ...
