Holiday Reading!

I want to list for our readers some of the new fiction books (and one or two non-fiction books) we have added to our collection since November 1st. I am going to read On Agate Hill, the new book by Lee Smith, over the break. I just can't resist a novel from the Civil War period. I am also going to try to finish listening to Thirteen Moons, by Charles Frazier. I love the book--hate the Shuffle.
Faculty: check out the titles in bold for titles that will interest our faculty, as well as our students!
