| Will Shetterly ( - ) http://qwertyranch.blogspot.com/ |
Will Shetterly is a Minnesota gubernatorial candidate and author of many novels
The floridian magical realism of Dogland follows the Nix family as they move across the country to create DOGLAND and the US moves into the turbulent sixties
Though the novels setting in a tourist attraction featuring hundreds of dog breeds might seem pure whimsy, it is apparently autobiographical.

| The Lady With the Dog & Other Stories |
| Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904) |
The Lady With the Dog is one of Chekhov's most famous stories. What seems like a brief affair between two married people becomes a threat to their family lives as they find they cannot forget each other. Chekhov is now the most popular playwright in the English-speaking world after Shakespeare, but many think that his short stories are his greatest achievement. Chekhov's stories are ranked No.9 on Time magazine's list of the "10 Greatest Books of all time", January 2007. |

| Barriers Burned Away |
| Edward Payson Roe (1838 - 1888) |
1872 Best Seller.
In his day E. P. Roe was a bigger seller than Mark Twain.
A story of the Chicago fire.
"We accord a hearty commendation to this work. The narrative is vigorous, often intense, but rarely if ever melodramatic.
Its language is usually no less chaste than forcible and impressive.
It betrays a power of invention and description which is not met with every day in the best of writers of popular fiction."
-- Dr. Ripley, in the New York Tribune (contemporary review)

| A.D.T. Whitney (1824 - 1906) |
1863 Best Seller.

Her message of then merely conservative values meant that her books sold very well to the parents of girls.
