The Virgin Suicides

Jeffrey Eugenides

The shocking thing about the girls was how nearly normal they seemed when their mother let them out for the one and only date of their lives. Twenty years on, their enigmatic personalities are embalmed in the memories of the boys who worshipped them and who now recall their shared adolescence: the brassiere draped over a crucifix belonging to the promiscuous Lux; the sisters' breathtaking appearance on the night of the dance; and the sultry, sleepy street across which they watched a family disintegrate and fragile lives disappear.

A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

The Moscow Playbook: How Russia Used, Abused, and Transformed Sports in the Hunt for Power

4.0

Enjoyment: 3.5Quality: 4.0Characters: Plot:

Berglund paints a compelling picture of the strategies employed by Russia--at both the individual and state level--in the pursuit of national success in sports. I would have appreciated even deeper analysis of certain aspects of the use of sport in both the Soviet and Putin eras, but as is, The Moscow Playbook is a digestible and fun read!
