Former NBCC fiction finalist Richard Price had this suggestion for the NBCC Good Reads Spring 2008 list, recommendations by NBCC members, awards winners and finalists:
Scott Spenser’s “Willing” in fiction. Although I perceive this book getting short shrift out there compared to some of his other novels, I just find that over the years his authorial voice is consistently charismatic, in this work no less than any other. In nonfiction I like Steve Coll’s book on the Bin Ladins. —Richard Price
