Here is something that caught our eyes.

While the list of past winners of the National Book Award for fiction is readily available, how about the titles that didn't win?  The National Book Foundation has posted an "online exhibition" of the 373 works that were contenders for the award over the last 50 years, but that lost in the final vote.  See how many of these books we are still reading today.

Welcome to our new blog for readers!

 We hope this will be a place you'll visit frequently for reading suggestions.  We plan to share the early word about the most talked about new titles, but also to bring to your attention some of our favorite books that fall under the radar.

 And of course, we hope you'll share what you're reading.
