Pigs in Heaven

Spring break is a wonderful time to select a fiction work and just read for fun. Try Barbara Kingsolver's book Pigs in Heaven (PS 3561 .I496 P54 2003).

Novelist (an Ebsco database available through GALILEO) notes four reviews, they provide a link to the authors web page and they have the first chapter of the book!

We do a have a little fiction in our collection - though we are heavy on program materials - of course, that's why we exist - to support the programs. Stroll through our PS's - you'll be surprised at what you'll find.

In LION ( Literature Online found in GALILEO) are poems to daffodils - this one struck my fancy Daffodils Hokku [from Homespun of Oatmeal Gray (1970), Random House] by Paul Goodman.
