Author J.D. Salinger died today at the age of 91. He is best known for Catcher in the Rye. Although he stopped publishing in 1965, Catcher in the Rye has held a near perpetual place on Bestsellers lists, a classic tale of adolescence.

Confession: I never read Catcher in the Rye. If you are a fan, tell us why you loved the book.

This is the second in our series, 10 books not to miss.

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield is a rich story about secrets, ghosts, winter, books and family. If you haven't read this book yet, now is the perfect time. It's setting and descriptions were made for cold nights! The Thirteenth Tale is a book lover's book, with much of the action taking place in libraries and book stores, and the line between fact and fiction constantly blurred. It is hard to believe this is Setterfield's debut novel (released in 2006), for she makes the words come to life with such skill that some passages even gave me chills. In one passage, Setterfield describes that feeling you sometimes get in childhood when you spend all day reading a book and are completely lost in another world. It is disorienting to put the book down and come back to real life. The Thirteenth Tale is the only book in my recent history that had that same kind of magical, disorienting effect on me.

Malcolm Gladwell is perhaps known best for his non-fiction best-sellers Blink, The Tipping Point, and Outliers, but What the Dog Saw is a collection of the essays from The New Yorker that put him on the map. The topics range from ketchup to plagiarism to failure. They're each about 15-25 pages long, are self-contained, and can be read in any order. Gladwell writes engagingly and has a gift for bringing out fascinating perspectives on nearly every topic he touches.

For the second time in a year, the publisher Bloomsbury is switching the cover of a book because of public outcry about featuring a white model on the cover of a novel about a black or mixed-race protagonist. This time the book is Jaclyn Dolamore's Magic Under Glass. Bloomsbury's Web site says, "Bloomsbury is ceasing to supply copies of the US edition of Magic Under Glass. The jacket design has caused offense and we apologize for our mistake. Copies of the book with a new jacket design will be available shortly."

It is sad to think marketers might still believe that a cover with a white model would sell better than one with a black model. Do you think this was an intentional decision or carelessness on the part of the publisher?

For more information, Entertainment Weekly has a good run down of the full story.

Ever since the December release of the movie version of The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold's 2002 novel by the same name has been topping Bestsellers lists once again. I missed the book when it was first released, and I had one thought when I saw the movie trailer, "There is absolutely no way I am reading or seeing that." The topic -- a young girl who is raped and murdered and then watches over her family from the in-between because her soul can't move on to heaven -- is just too heavy for me these days.
It's not that I want to avoid all sad topics. In fact, I am very willing to hear true tragic stories. Ever since having kids, though, the weight of pain and danger in the world seems especially heavy. I have no desire to read fiction about kidnappings.
What are the topics you avoid in your reading even if you know the books are supposed to be really good?

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver follows the life of Harrison Shepherd, a boy with an American father and Mexican mother who grows up in both countries, from 1929 - 1951. Although The Lacuna is presented as Shepherd's diaries and letters, he is not a very strong character in the novel. Indeed, The Lacuna is much more about what is happening in the world around Shepherd as he works for real historical figures. The history presented in The Lacuna is interesting, but the lack of intimacy and impetus in the main character makes the novel drag a little.

This week, Elizabeth Kostova releases her second novel, The Swan Thieves. Her first novel, The Historian, was a bestseller and gained critical acclaim (including this review from About.com). I have not read either of Kostova's books, and I will admit I am a little intimidated by their length -- about 600 solid, literary pages each. Yes, I read a lot. Yes, reading is my job. Still, I get nervous when something bigger than 300 pages lands on my desk if I haven't read the author before. (Can't we just go out for drinks before spending the weekend together?) If you have read Kostova, what do you think? Should we biblio-commitment-phobes dive in?
