Orval Lund, Winona: Of the 40-odd books I read last year, these were some of the best: Thomas Harris' "Red Dragon"; Arnold Steinhardt's "Violin Dreams"; Nicole Lea Helget's "The Summer of Ordinary Ways"; Pat Conroy's "The Losing Season"; Ron Carlson's "Five Skies"; Cormac McCarthy's "Cities of the Plain" and "The Crossing"; F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"; Penelope Fitzgerald's "The Book Shop"; Garrison Keillor's "Pontoon"; Dennis Lehane's "Shutter Island"; Patricia Hampl's "The Florist's Daughter."
