"I don't read many books, but I like to read the "Villa News." It's the biggest cycling magazine around and it's got information on all the latest tours and anything you want."
- Glenn Thrift

Beware of the Curves (by A.A. Fair). "This book is filled with mayhem, murder and mystery. It was wonderful. I loved it!"
- Yvonne Williams

John Adams (by David McCullough). "I heard the author speak on the biography, and I had to read it. It lived up to every bit of the hype."
- Mark Thomason

Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson (by Robert A. Caro). "It's a brilliant description of how a southern man, through leadership, was able to promote civil rights legislation." - Bill Pierce
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (by Rebecca Wells). "The reason I liked it so much was because it was set in Louisiana and spoke a lot about family."
- Jane Dungan
