Friday's New York Times Book Review: 10 Favourites

Michiko Kakutani’s 10 favourites appear here.

While Janet Maslin's 10 favourites are here.

Of these 20 books I'll be looking for Louise Erdrich's "The Plague of Doves."

My last Erdrich read was The Painted Drum, a simple, yet poignant story of a mother, a drum and her daughter. Several passages from the book had been read at a Writer's Workshop I attended, passages that seemed to foretell a good read, and one I took immediately. I'm glad I did.
