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.
