May, 2003

This month's roundup of 45 New in Paperback titles features the works of Erica Jong, Gail Tsukiyama, Stephen L. Carter and Yann Martel, whose novel LIFE OF PI our readers selected as one of the ten best hardcovers of 2002. We have also assembled some great nonfiction reads, including sports books, touching memoirs, and a gripping account of 13 firefighters who responded to the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
