IMCPL Staff Recommends http://www.imcpl.org/reading/staffrec/index.html Looking for a good book? Try these recommendations from Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library staff members! en-US Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy, and the West by Bhutto, Benazir http://www.imcpl.org/reading/staffrec/index.html

This book was published posthumously and is an excellent primer for understanding Islam and the challenges of governing a country which cannot reconcile its own faith, much less introduce “democracy and the West.”


Recommendation for the Week of June 30, 2008 Ines of My Soul by Allende, Isabel http://www.imcpl.org/reading/staffrec/index.html Not much is known about the women who worked to establish the Spanish Empire, but after four years of meticulous research Allende brings the story of this passionate and brave woman to life.
Recommendation for the Week of June 23, 2008 Slinging Doughnunts for the Boys: An American Woman in World War II by Madison, James H. http://www.imcpl.org/reading/staffrec/index.html Although she made and served doughnuts and coffee for thousands of soldiers and attended many military dances and social functions, her real job was to help bolster the morale of the GIs going into and coming back from combat.
Recommendation for the Week of June 16, 2008 Much Obliged, Jeeves by Wodehouse, P. G. http://www.imcpl.org/reading/staffrec/index.html Wooster, his usual bumbling but not half-witted self, is thrown into a comedy of identity switching, former fiancé dodging, and multiple marital arranging.
