Nancy Pearl is our guest on ST. An editor, novelist, literary critic, retired librarian, and internationally acclaimed reading and literacy advocate, Pearl used to live and work in Tulsa -- way back in the day -- and that's when she started appearing occasionally on our radio show. Pearl returns today (by phone) to share several bookish gift-giving ideas. Here is her list: Sam Anderson, "Boom Town" / Paul Auster, "4321" / Joanna Cannon, "The Trouble with Sheep and Goats" / Esi Edugyan, "Washington Black" / Jane Gardam, "A Long Way from Verona" / Sara Gran, "Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead" / Andrew Sean Greer, "Less" / Raymond Chandler (Edited by Owen Hill), "The Annotated Big Sleep" / Emma Hooper, "Our Homesick Songs" / Lydia Kiesling, "The Golden State" / Susan Orlean, "The Library Book."
