Lisa is a good friend from Chronicle. She works in the sales department, but is a published editor as well--Her Fork in the Road is an excellent collection of writing by women about food and travel (and really, is there a better thing to write about?). She reports that making this list was pretty hard--it really depends on time and mood. Here's what she came up with:
The Color Purple, Alice Walker
Geek Love, Catherine Dunn
Comfort Me with Apples,Ruth Reichl
Anything written by MFK Fisher
Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
The Royal Road to Romance, Richard Halliburton [ab: I wrote about this in the early days of the blog--it's one of the grand novels on "the grand tour."]
Tipping the Velvet, Sarah Waters (Also fancied Fingersmith)
Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris
The Names of Things, Susan Brind Morrow
The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison
Autobiography of a Face, Lucy Greely
