| A Daughter of the Land | Gene Stratton-Porter | Kate Bates followed the narrow footpath rounding the corner of
the small country church, as the old minister raised his voice
slowly and impressively to repeat the command he had selected for
his text. Fearing that her head would be level with the windows,
she bent and walked swiftly past the church; but the words went
her, iterating and reiterating themselves in her brain. | Buy | |
| Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas | James B. Patterson | Kate Wilkinson sat in warm bathwater in the weird but wonderful
old-fashioned porcelain tub in her New York apartment. The
apartment exuded "old" and "worn" in ways that practitioners of
shabby chic couldn't begin to imagine. | Buy | |

| The Pearl | John Ernst Steinbeck | Kino awakened in the near dark. The stars still shone and the
day had drawn only a pale wash of light in the lower sky to the
east. The roosters had been crowing for some time, and the early
pigs were already beginnning their ceaseless turning of twigs and
bits of wood to see whether anything to eat had been overlooked. | Buy | |
| The Bourne Supremacy | Robert Ludlum | Kowloon. The teeming final extension of China that is no part of
the north except in spirit--but the spirit runs deep and descends
into the caverns of men's souls without regard for the harsh,
irrelevant practicalities of political borders. The land and the
water are one, and it is the will of the spirit that determines
how man will use the land and the water--again without regard for
such abstractions as useless freedom or escapable confinement.
The concern is only with empty stomachs. Survival. There is
nothing else. All the rest is dung to be spread over the
infertile fields. | Buy | |
