Win a free best-seller!

Fireworks To mark a milestone for Read Street's first month -- 100 comments -- Nancy and I are giving away a sure-fire best-seller to the person who submits #100. (We're happy to make this small sacrifice for our country, and help ease the strain brought on by a summer of $4-a-gallon gas and killer tomatoes.) We're a bit shy of the mark right now, so you still have a chance to win.

The lucky winner can choose one of several new releases: The Garden of Last Days by Andre Dubus III, The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie, When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris, Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger, Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall, or War Journal by Richard Engel.

Good luck, and happy reading to the winner.

About the bloggers

While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Johnston grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
