Kitty Kelley, author of "The Royals":"I'm reading 'An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness' by Kay Redfield Jamison. It's a searing story of the author's experience with and triumph over manic depression. Inspiring and elegantly written, it's a story of hope and triumph."

Phyllis Grann, President of Penguin Putnam:"I have just finished Joanna Trollope's 'Other People's Children,' and am working my way through her back list: 'The Spanish Lover,' 'The Rector,' and 'The Choir.'"

Deepak Chopra, author of "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success for Parents," coming in November:"I am currently rereading the Book of Genesis and the Old Testament. I am thoroughly enjoying it because it shows the full range of human experience, the full range of human emotion, and the full range of human behavior."

Clyde Edgerton, author of -- well, you'll see:"'Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America' by John M. Barry. This is very good because of the drama the author captures and is a primer on backroom politics of that -- and I suppose any other -- time.
"I am also reading 'Where Trouble Sleeps' by Clyde Edgerton. I have read it before in manuscript form but this is the first time in hardback cover. I find it nothing short of brilliant."
