GEN: Vacation reading

[Betty Dawn Hamilton <bhamilt@TENET.EDU>]

Well, I finally found my list!  I typed it hurriedly in the summer when
everyone was sending suggestions, so I may have some of them wrong.
Also, a few of the titles (Buffalo Commons, Farewell to a River, etc.)
came from elsewhere, but they are on my list, so ....

(If I butchered any of your favorites, please post a correction. Also, I
was not able to find all of the titles in the book store where I shopped.)
