| Winner! Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle In Roddy Doyle`s Booker Prize-winning novel Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, an Irish lad named Paddy rampages through the streets of Barrytown with a pack of like-minded hooligans, playing cowboys and Indians, etching their names in wet concrete, and setting fires. Roddy Doyle has captured the sensations and speech patterns of preadolescents with consummate skill, and managed to do so without resorting to sentimentality. Paddy Clarke and his friends are not bad boys; they`re just a little bit restless. They`re always taking sides, bullying each other, and secretly wishing they didn`t have to. All they want is for something--anything--to happen. Read more... |

Together these voices make up a "m... Read more... |
| The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields This fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett, captured in Daisy`s vivacious yet reflective voice, has been winning over readers since its publication in 1995, when it won the Pulitzer Prize. After a youth marked by sudden death and loss, Daisy escapes into conventionality as a middle-class wife and mother. Years later she becomes a successful garden columnist and experiences the kind of awakening that thousands of her contemporaries in mid-century yearned for but missed in alcoholism, marital infidelity and bridge clubs.
