GoldThe latest novel from Chris Cleave (Little Bee) engrosses us in the world of professional cycling. Gold ($27, Simon & Schuster, 978-1-451-67272-5) is the story of Zoe Castle and Kate Meadows, who met at age 19 trying out for the British Cycling Team and have been friends and ultra-competitive rivals for 13 years now. Kate is more naturally gifted, but the demands of her life – her marriage to a gold-medal cyclist and caring for their eight-year-old daughter, Sophie, who is battling leukemia – weigh heavily. When the IOC changes its rules so that only one cyclist will be eligible to compete in the 2012 London Olympics, Zoe and Kate are forced to decide whether winning means

As World War One spreads across Europe, Elizabeth Endicott arrives in Syria to deliver food and medical aid to refugees of

Laura Petrosian, a novelist who has never really given much thought to her Armenian heritage. Subsequent events have Laura embarking on a journey back through her family’s history that reveals love, loss – and a wrenching secret that has been buried for generations.

We readers, it turns out, haveso much in common just by the factthat we value reading and howreading enriches our lives and ourculture. Don’t you just love whensomeone asks you, “So, what are you reading?”

Whether you adore fiction orprefer non-fiction, you’re a kindredspirit if you… have several books

That’s what we readers are all about. No wonder we have little difficultymaking conversation when we meet one another! What bonds us is that we arepart of a reading and book culture and that’s a big part of who we are.
