[Neil's Picks for Quality Reading, Issue #7 - January, 2007]

Neil Peart has updated the Bubba's Book Club section of his website yet again. And this update covers a lot of territory; he reviews 7 books. There's the typical fare of travel books and a biography - but this batch also includes a few novels. The books are The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton, Uncommon Carriers by John McPhee, A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffet, Ines of My Soul by Isabel Allende, The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad, Paradise by Toni Morrison and Rebuilding the Indian by Fred Haefele. As always, Neil serves up his insightful opinion about each of these works; utilizing his unique style of prose. I haven't read any of them - I tend to stick to my usual diet of sci-fi and fantasy - but Neil's reviews are very persuasive; I may just have to give some of these books a look. Thanks to reader Jeanette for spotting this.
