VA Books! - Book Recommendations
The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities is pleased to present "VABooks!" -- a feature column that appears monthly, available to newspapers across the Commonwealth. "VABooks!" suggests a book for Virginians to read in common to encourage dialogue and promote understanding of our heritage and our future. Every month, guest columnists will recommend an outstanding work of adult or children's literature.
