So what are you reading now? Henry’s Demons, by Patrick Cockburn, and The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss.

I knew you’d have some interesting ones. Of course!

And what three books would you recommend for our readers—smart, professional women? I think Room, by Emma Donoghue or All Other Nights by Dara Horn. There’s also How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff.

And what could Asheville use more of? Affordable housing. And a distillery that makes good bourbon.
