Reader recommendation: Mohawk

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

By Jeff Cina, Eugene, Ore.

Richard Russo's Mohawk is a funny but serious story of small-city life in upstate New York. The personalities and relationships are only ten percent more interesting than those of real people, making the tale almost believable. Most times I sat down to read a chapter or two it wound up being several.
