Salon readers who’d like to hear me talking about my favorite books of 2009 should check out this episode of the NPR call-in show, “On Point.” Even better, you’ll get recommendations from David Ulin, the editor of the Los Angeles Times’ books section, and Carol Besse, co-owner of Carmichael’s Bookstore in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the show’s impressively well-read readers. A particularly nice touch was having Carol and I read short excerpts from some of our choices.
