Jim,
Not knowing whether you have preferences in the arena of book scanning,
I'll
throw a suggestion into the pool ...
Pretty Birds: A Novel by Scott Simon
http://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Birds-Novel-Scott-Simon/dp/0812973305/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8558026-8045746?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180820962&sr=1-1
Irena Zaric, a high-school basketball star in Sarajevo, is more
preoccupied
with game strategy and an affair with her coach than with her Muslim
ethnicity.
But when the Bosnian Serbs begin their campaign of ethnic cleansing, Irena
and her parents find themselves among throngs of Muslims brutalized and
driven
from their homes. They take refuge in her grandmother's apartment and
begin
a regime for survival that has the father digging ditches for the
military.
Irena brings home beer and cigarettes from an ersatz job in a brewery that
provides cover for a team of snipers led by Tedic, a Muslim with a knack
for
spotting talent he can use. Irena becomes disturbingly good at her task,
growing a veneer of cynicism even as she pores over outdated Western
magazines
for fashion news and the latest antics of Madonna and Michael Jackson.
Simon, who has covered the siege of Sarajevo for NPR, puts the events in a
war-torn
land into human perspective with memorable characters struggling with
issues
of ethnicity, survival, friendship, and betrayal.

Hello List,
My scanner input stack of books is empty and an idle scanner is a wast. I
need a list of titles to take to my library.
