Books on the Nightstand discussion

Sorry to read of the passing of E.L. Doctorow. My fastest read was RAGTIME an ambitious retelling of life in the United States at the turn of the last century. I can honestly say that "Ragtime" taught as well as it entertained. I also read "The March" a novel of Sherman's march during the Civil War.

So far I've read Homer & Langley and Andrew's Brain. I know I own Ragtime and probably Billy Bathgate. Maybe I'll get to those last two after I catch up with bookclub books, Petoskey reading, and a review book I have.
