summer 2010 CoNteNts 3 | TOP OF THE NEWS Halls of Fame, academic degree changes, and news briefs Vol. 50 | No. 2 | summer 2010 from the 4 | GREAT PERFORMANCES Campaign focuses on organ renovation, Stephanie Weeast Dear friends, When we committed to moving ahead with construction of the Richard L. Jantz Stadium in late January, we knew we were knocking over a big domino that was going to have many short-term impacts at the college. First and foremost, what were we going to do about Commencement? We've held Commencement in Stewart Field House a couple of times in the past decade, when bad weather threatened, but it was always Plan B. Could it be Plan A? With over 600 (!) master's and bachelor's degree graduates eligible to participate in Commencement, we knew we would have a big crowd on campus, far too large to accommodate in Stewart. So, the decision was easy, do separate ceremonies for master's and bachelor's graduates. That still left 450 bachelor's degree recipients, and their families and friends, to accommodate. We thought we could manage it. The seniors thought otherwise. When I learned that a new Facebook community, titled "Commencement Concerns," had formed and had fifty SC members, we took heed, and split the bachelor's degree ceremony into two. That did the trick. Three ceremonies, no crowding, no overflow into remote viewing venues. Everyone who wanted to be there in the flesh was able to do it. It ViewpoiNt 5 | COMMENCEMENT Old and new traditions and three ceremonies in Stewart Field House 6 -7 | ART & SCIENCE Scott Hecht has combined education with natural talent to become a nationally-known glassblower. worked so well, we may stick with it even after the stadium is available. Whatever we do next year, we're thankful for this year's challenges of growth and prosperity. They sure beat the alternative! Best regards, Dick Merriman, President 8 -11 | ALUMNI NOTES Remembering Ralph Murray and Cecil Findley, alumni notes, and class hosts for Homecoming. Sometimes, just for fun, I imagine what it would be like to present the incoming freshman class with the Southwestern College Curriculum from 1887. I picture myself saying, "In your first semester you'll have the opportunity to read Livy in Latin!" Can you hear the jubilant cheering? Then, in the snap back to reality, some sweatshirt clad kid walks into my office and asks if we have a class that teaches how to design computer games. That's the way it goes. Times change and so must the curriculum. Faculty members work hard to watch industry trends, technological innovations, and emerging careers. Those forces combined with general student interest mean that our colleagues have to work hard to shape the curriculum and ensure its effectiveness. The truth is that all of the additions and deletions are signs of the same truth: an SC education is timeless. Livy's History of Rome is an ancient classic but the curriculum at SC is always relevant. Sincerely, James Sheppard, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty COVER Say cheese!

A College announces two new degrees, restructuring of physics the natural sciences, as Southwestern restructures its physics program. After extensive program review, the academic dean and the science faculty agreed that the program should be crafted into a two-year sequence and repositioned as a pre-engineering program. "There are two major reasons for this decision," says Dean Andy Sheppard. "First, the current program requires a work load that is not sustainable for the existing faculty. Second, the program has a long history of low enrollments." "It is important to note that the reduction of the physics major does not entail a reduction in workforce. Rather, it will create a more equitable workload for the existing physics faculty members," Sheppard added. The revised two-year physics program will consist of general education courses, four semesters of mathematics and two semesters of general physics. At the end of the sequence, the students would then transfer to an engineering program at a larger university. Anew master of arts in music degree and a Professional Studies degree in health administration are highlights of academic changes being made recently. The master's degree will offer emphases in music education or in performance, and its inaugural class will begin study July 5. "This course of study can be taken in one year or it can be spread over four summers," explains Timothy Shook, chair of the division of fine arts. Shook and David Hofmeister, chair of education, jointly planned the degree to ensure maximum flexibility. Hallmarks of the program include class schedules that allow students to take many classes while maintaining employment, requirements that meet each individual student's interests, and the combination of online and oncampus courses. "We know that for many persons in music professions, this is the ideal time to be focusing on a graduate degree," Shook says. "We're hopeful that our music alumni will take advantage of this opportunity, and that they'll recommend it to others who might be interested in graduate study." The college's Professional Studies program is now offering a bachelor's degree in health care administration. The program is available in both faceto-face and online modes. "As life spans stretch and as health care becomes increasingly complex and expensive, employment opportunities in health care administration are expected to grow," President Dick Merriman says. Another academic change will affect NEWS BRIEFS H igh school students with an interest in sustainable living will spend a week at Southwestern College during the new Green Team camp to be held on campus July 11-15.

The award was given to Southwestern because of its financial investment in the stadium, making decades of lectures as well as musical and theatrical presentations available to the community, service to the community, and engaging its Leadership program in improving the residential sectors of Winfield. Cheryl Rude accepted the award. ����� Have you lost your college yearbook? Now the Moundbuilder is online. In a cooperative venture between the Office of Alumni Relations and the Deets Library staff, decades of yearbooks have been scanned and now can be found at www.sckans.edu/alumniand-friends/history/yearbook-project/. ����� The SC Board of Trustees approved the promotion of several faculty members during its April meeting: Lisa Braun, Melinda Current, and Stacy Sparks from assistant professor to associate professor, and Michael Tessmer and Patrick Ross from associate professor to full professor. ����� Professional Studies continues to gather awards. In addition to appearing on the 2010 list of military friendly institutions for Military Advanced Education, PS programs were honored by GetEducated.com. The website released its 2010 national affordability rankings of universities that offer the best values online master's degrees and SC's Professional Studies offerings in leadership, business administration, management, and security administration made those lists. ����� An honor society for adult learners, Sigma Tau, a chapter for Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL), inducted its first members April 12, and 146 SC learners were invited to attend the ceremony. According to Deb Stockman, director of marketing and new media for SC Professional Studies, the benefits of Alpha Sigma Lambda include staying in contact with other inductees, social and career networking, scholarship opportunities for inductees seeking further study, celebrating academic success, and leadership and commitment to scholarship and service. Norman Sean Roberson was inducted into the chapter but was not present to accept his certificate of membership � Roberson currently is on active duty serving in Iraq. His commanding officer accepted the honor. | summer 2010 3 J reuter organ renovation to be part of campaign ames Leland begins our tour of the Reuter pipe organ in Richardson Auditorium seated at the console. This is where the artist usually coaxes glorious music out of the instrument, but the instrument is acting cranky. Leland pushes a pre-set button. Stops pop out momentarily, then back in. "See?" Leland says. "They go on, then pop off, and I can't get them to stay on. We have whole groups of stops that don't work at all." And that's the problem with this pipe organ: It's a wonderful instrument, and suits the auditorium space admirably, Leland says. It just doesn't work very well any more. Now the renovation of the college's pipe organ is a component in the Great Performances Capital Campaign. Originally installed during the rebuilding following the Richardson fire in 1950, the Reuter Organ has provided music for convocations, accompanied groups, starred in recitals, and served generations of organ students. But the years have taken a toll. The next stop on the organ tour is in the basement of Christy Administration building. A room just off the Little Theatre holds the organ's "lungs" � the blower that regulates air at the proper pressure to be sent through the 2,033 pipes. The huge blower nearly fills the space but theatre lights and janitorial supplies are packed into every extra spare inch. A dedicated space for the blower is part of the renovation project. The tour moves up two f lights of stairs to a locked room on the northeast corner above the auditorium. This room is filled with organ pipes of all sizes � from a 16-foot bass pipe that curves at the top to avoid hitting the ceiling, to tiny pipes less than the diameter of a pencil. Here we discover why there's never an organ recital played here in December: "Some time ago the radiators were removed from this north chamber, so it is not heated. The south chamber is heated, so during the dead of winter, the pipes from one are not in tune with pipes from the other side," Leland says. With auditorium renovation ventilation is planned for each chamber so that the pipes will be the same temperature as the auditorium below. In the center of the north chamber is the most complex part of the organ, the wind chest. If the blower is the lungs of the organ, this is the heart. Hundreds of wires and leather pieces allow air to pass from the blower to the proper pipes to produce tones from the mellow to the majestic. The leather is original and has simply worn out, Leland says. "Maintenance is a trial. I have to crawl on my stomach to Mabee Challenge $1.3 Million needed by January 2011 $600,000 raised as of May 2010 � nearly halfway to the goal. James leland get to the corner over there," he adds. A similar wind chest in the south chamber across the auditorium controls air to several hundred more pipes. Above these pipes is a framework of lath and plastic � a jerryrigged tent former organ professor Jim Strand built to keep rainwater from leaking into the pipes. And still, despite the myriad issues that keep the organ from performing at its best, James Leland speaks of the instrument with fondness. "This is an organ of real distinction," he says. "Its sound is rich, colorful, and most impressive in the room." Through the Great Performances campaign, the Reuter Organ will be restored to its majestic best. S weeast discipline leads to great performances tephanie Weeast knows what it takes to give a good performance. In the past decade or so, the SC Board of Trustees member has run 11 marathons, including the famed Boston Marathon. To keep in shape for this kind of competition, she logs 40 miles per week in three or four runs, plus swimming or biking or lifting weights on the days she doesn't hit the road. Only a special discipline can make this schedule work with Stephanie's family commitments and her career as an attorney and financial advisor for Edward Jones Investments in Hugoton. It's a discipline that comes from absolute determination to reach a goal � a kind of discipline that may be genetically-predestined in Stephanie. Her mother, Shirley Whalen, is a prime example of goal orientation. Shirley had come to Kansas from New Jersey in the late 1950s to attend college with 4 summer 2010 | her tennis-playing brothers. It was only a few days into the first semester when Shirley spotted handsome young Stanley Antrim standing at the top of the 77 Steps. Turning to her friends, she said, "See him? That's the man I'm going to marry." And she did. This kind of goal orientation was essential when Stephanie began distance running in 1999. Her father had died that year, a victim of juvenile diabetes, and Weeast decided to enter the Wichita Marathon in his honor. She finished the race, and in the process raised more than $10,000 to fight juvenile diabetes. So why, when she and husband Jeff were choosing to make a contribution to the Great Performances Campaign, did they decide to earmark their donation for the renovation of the performing arts space in Christy Administration Building rather than giving it toward the new athletic facilities? "The importance of the arts is undeniable," she explains. "Whether it be music or theatre, the arts bring beautiful things into our lives. They challenge and inspire us to better understand ourselves and others and the world we live in and share together." Stephanie and Jeff did not attend Southwestern (she says, with a laugh, that she may have made a mistake when she chose a major university instead of SC) but two of their three sons are Moundbuilders � Westin '09 was on the golf team, and Tanner '11 has participated in theatre and track. This exposure to the theatre program and their observation of the passion Roger and Allyson Moon bring to leading drama efforts at SC reinforced their opinions of the arts. "I think to succeed in something and to win at it or to perform well, you have to practice and work at it, and that's what athletes do in track and field, also what music and theatre performers do," Stephanie says. Now the Weeast contribution will help the next generation of Moundbuilders as they continue in the tradition of great performances.

Commencement 2010 Acombination of old and new traditions marked Commencement weekend may 8 and 9. As they've done for decades, seniors were applauded as they walked up the 77 steps to honors Convocation. this saturday afternoon ceremony now attracts family and friends as well as faculty and classmates. but a new tradition was made necessary by the construction of the richard l. Jantz stadium. the customary outdoor ritual was moved inside stewart field house, where nearly 600 graduates were eligible to participate in one of three ceremonies (one graduate, two undergraduate). old or new, the traditions of Commencement delighted hundreds who swarmed across the campus to watch their builders receive degrees. they applauded graduates such as professor fran Jabara leadership Award winners tanner mcNinch and Caitlin smith. Claudia Geer, professor of psychology, summarized the emotions during her invocation: "As these wonderful young women and men undertake this rite of passage, help them be assured of the certainty that they will succeed as have the many others who have gone before them." Above right: salutatorian bernita paulsen receives applause during Commencement. summer 2010 5 Glassblowing is a science. pure silica (sand) melts to liquid at something above 2300� fahrenheit. As it cools, its atoms rearrange and harden into a shape that is solid and transparent � glass. Glassblowing is an art. During the molten transformation from sand to glass, the mixture can be manipulated through the introduction of air, color, and other elements. the result is a transformation of the mundane into the magnificent. perhaps this combination of science and art is the basis of scott hartley's career as a glassblower: he is by training a scientist, a biology major at southwestern College who graduated in 1997. by nature, though, he is an artist and sculptures produced at his infinity Art Glass studio are now found around the world. while this may seem an improbable outcome, in some ways, scott says, it was as if everything he'd done in his life was leading up to the moment in June 1999 when he first saw a glassblower in action. by then he had been teaching high school biology for two years, with the only indication of his artistic nature his increasingly elaborate blackboard illustrations of crayfish. he and his wife, Gwen, had a six-month-old son. that's when Gwen asked the life-changing question: Do you see yourself teaching for the rest of your life? the answer, scott realized, was that he did not. he loved teaching, he enjoyed high school kids, but academic paperwork and politics were wearing. for the first time he verbalized what he'd felt for a long time. "i'd love to do something in art, but i know i couldn't make a living at it," he told Gwen. maybe this is why he was so intrigued when he visited a glassblower's studio a few weeks later. "i went and watched the process and as soon as i saw it, i told Gwen, `i can do that,'" hartley recalls. During two years as an apprentice glassblower hartley learned about the process. he experienced the eyebrow-singeing heat that escapes a glass furnace melting sand to liquid. he realized the strength necessary even for this sC basketball player to keep 25 pounds of molten glass in motion so that it doesn't distort out of position. And he discovered his destiny. in 2001 the hartleys bought a former carpentry workshop in benton and began converting it into a glassblowing studio. scott built all of his own equipment from scratch, welding furnaces and constructing benches suitable for his 6'4" frame. how in the world did he know how to build a kiln? "the internet is a beautiful thing when you need to figure out how to do something," he says with a grin. "that, and my southwestern College education." still, the early days were rough. it was four months before the studio was equipped to produce glass, and the leap of faith that had led them to this spot seemed foolish when inventory had not yet caught up with dreams. scott worked long hours, day after day, in temperatures that reached 120 degrees in the studio. Gravity meant that every piece constantly wanted to be on the floor; kansas winds blew chaff from the grain elevator next door onto the forming tables. even when the artist did everything right, success wasn't guaranteed. Newly-blown glass tempers in an oven for two days as its temperature lowers from 950 degrees to room temperature. And sometimes, when scott opened the oven door, the painstakingly crafted sculpture had tipped over, or simply shattered. Nearly a decade later, though, infinity Art Glass has become known around the world. Customers arrive from throughout the united states to visit the benton studio, and hartley's prediction that he couldn't make a living with art has been proven false. back in his southwestern days, scott played basketball. he was a fierce competitor, and when things didn't go his way, the crowd knew it. how does that personality trait transfer to a profession that requires him to work in a medium that is, by its nature, fragile? in the beginning, hartley admits, pieces that didn't turn out to his satisfaction might have ended up being angrily destroyed. but that doesn't happen anymore. Not ever. life itself has calmed him down. in addition to their son (now 11), scott and Gwen have daughters who are eight and four years old, and both girls have special needs. this has instilled in these young parents a maturity many never acquire. "You start to figure things out," scott says, "and the glass has made me more humble. that frustration i used to have when things didn't go my way? i don't get it." instead, he gets the thrill of unlocking the intrigue he sees in glass, in conquering both the science and the art. "i feel like i can do anything with it, anything i put my mind toward." to see more photos of art glass in progress, go to www.sckans.edu/artglass. infinity Art Glass is at www.infinityartglass.com 6 summer 2010 | from sand to sculpture, scott hartley completes a piece of art glass in his benton studio. these photographs show the progress of a single piece from inception to completion (opposite page).

Ralph Murray: sharing an sC heritage Ralph Murray '32, the youngest sibling in a family whose history is intertwined with the Southwestern College history, died March 6, 2010, at the age of 102. Ten Murray family members (including in-laws) have attended here. One of the six siblings, Alvin, was president of the college from Oct. 17, 1949, to June 30, 1953 � a critical period when Richardson Hall burned and the Methodist church was on the brink of closing the college. Alvin Murray is given much of the credit for convincing delegates to the Central Kansas Conference not to merge Southwestern with Kansas Wesleyan in Salina. The youngest in the family, Ralph Murray, was born in 1908. Largely raised by his older siblings after his mother died, Ralph attended Southwestern for one year but the scholar's life wasn't for a young fellow who described himself at the time as footloose and fancy-free. After a few years in Chicago, Ralph hitchhiked to New York in 1928. Thanks to the intervention of a friend he had known in Winfield, Murray was hired by the Associated Press as a copyboy. He rose through the ranks to become an editor, and ended up staying at the Associated Press for his entire career, retiring because of failing eyesight two weeks before Kennedy's assassination. At various periods of his life, Ralph enjoyed woodworking, especially turning items on his lathe; photography; gardening; and canning fruits and vegetables. Even in his later years, when he was blind, he still made his own bread until he was 100. For many years he got great enjoyment from classical music, and he was an avid reader of many periodicals and books on tape. Throughout the years Ralph and his wife of 67 years, Dorothy, continued to support the college. They were an early contributor to the Builders of Excellence campaign, and the Murray Plaza and the Ralph and Dorothy Murray Reference Room in the renovated library are named for them. Dorothy died in 2004, and Ralph also was predeceased by his brothers and sisters � Oscar, Alvin, Roy, Edna, and Clara. Also among survivors are a niece, Patricia (Murray) Osborn '55 and husband Chet Osborn '55, and Sidney DeVere Brown '47, husband of a deceased niece Ruth (Murray) Brown '48. administrator - 12 in Hillsboro, and 27 in Gilcrest.

WebMD Physician Directory
St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis is an independent city in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The city contributed to the musical styles of blues, ragtime, and jazz. The St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful Major League Baseball teams, make their home at Busch Stadium. Other professional teams include the St. Louis Rams (football) and St. Louis Blues (hockey). A diversity of successful sports franchises has led to St. Louis being called "North America's Best Sports City." The city's many 19th-century breweries shaped beer in the United States, most notably Anheuser-Busch, Falstaff Brewing Corporation, and Lemp Brewery. The vestiges of French and Spanish colonization make St. Louis one of the largest centers of Roman Catholicism in the United States.

And IMO, the good riders through out time have always been talented, but none had the brass ones of the board track racers of the early 1900s! No brakes, no helmet, no throttle, 100mph and just a kill switch to bump and racing on a 60 degree bank of oily giant splinters!?!
+1 on those board track racers, there is a small M/C museum near here on Route 66, there is a board track bike there set on a little section of board track, 60 degree bank. Scary just to look at that thing.
Dallas is not usually a slick track, I think they have pretty good dirt there. Last interview I saw with Tomac he sounded undecided about riding a 450, but I'll be surprised if he doesn't ride 2-3 rounds of 450 class. Like someone said, KDub's bike is just sitting there, riderless.

How gadgets, chips, services companies are faring
Thursday - 7/18/2013, 7:01pm EDT
The Associated Press
Companies providing gadgets, components, services and related software have begun releasing their earnings reports for the latest quarter. The reports come as consumers shift their spending toward phone and tablets and away from traditional PCs. Here's a look at how selected companies are faring.
-- July 5: Samsung Electronics Co. says sales of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, hit 10 million units in May, less than a month since its debut. The company says sales of the S4 hit the 10 million mark about 20 days faster than the previous model. Meanwhile, Samsung reports record quarterly profit, but its stock tumbles on doubts its smartphone business can maintain rapid growth. Analysts say high marketing costs probably weighed on Samsung's mobile business despite the robust sales in the first month. Samsung says it will release full results on July 26.
-- July 10: Research firms IDC and Gartner report that worldwide shipments of personal computers fell 11 percent in the April-June period, as people continue to migrate to tablets and other mobile devices. Gartner's Mikako Kitagawa says inexpensive tablets are displacing low-end computers in "mature" markets such as the United States. IDC says the numbers "reflect a market that is still struggling with the transition to touch-based systems running Windows 8." Microsoft Corp.'s latest operating system launched in October, and sales have disappointed analysts.
-- July 11: Microsoft says it is dismantling its management structure that separated the company into sometimes disjointed divisions. It is trying to bind everything into a more cohesive line-up of products and services. The shake-up is aimed at transforming Microsoft into a nimbler, more collaborative company better equipped to address the threat posed by the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets running on software made by Google and Apple.
Nokia Corp. attempts to reclaim market share lost to iPhones and Android devices by unveiling a new Windows phone with a powerful camera. The new Nokia Lumia 1020 phone is packed with innovations designed to provide sharp images, even in low light. The phone's 41-megapixel sensor and image-stabilizing technology are both rare in smartphones.
-- July 17: Intel Corp., the world's largest maker of chips for PCs, backtracks on sales projections. After saying it expected its own sales to grow despite declines on global PC sales, Intel now says sales will be flat. Intel is hoping that sales of chips for servers, tablets and smartphones will compensate for the drop-off in PC sales. The downward revision of the company's outlook is an admission that Intel chips haven't made it into many mobile devices.
IBM Corp. says net income in the latest quarter fell 17 percent as revenue slipped and it absorbed the cost of layoffs. IBM raises its annual profit outlook. It now expects to earn an adjusted $16.90 per share for the full year, above the $16.66 analysts expected.
-- July 18: Microsoft Corp.'s foray into the tablet computer market is proving costly, as world's largest software company books a $900 million write-down to account for the deep price cut it applied to its Surface RT tablet earlier in the week. It was a move to spur sales amid sluggish demand.
Cellphone maker Nokia Corp.'s woes continue with revenues dropping 24 percent in the second quarter. Still, cost-cutting helped the Finnish company's trim its net loss to 227 million euros ($298 million), compared with a net loss of 1.41 billion euros a year earlier.
Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. posts a loss for the second quarter, reversing a year-ago profit, as lower expenses could not make up for declining revenue in the midst of a worldwide PC slump.
Dell Inc. delays a vote on founder Michael Dell's plan to take the slumping computer maker private in a sign the board needs more time to find rally support.
Coming up:
-- July 22: Texas Instruments Inc.
-- July 23: Apple Inc.
-- July 24: Qualcomm Inc.
-- July 26: Samsung (full report)
-- Aug. 1: Sony Corp.
-- Aug. 20: Dell Inc.
-- Aug. 21: Hewlett-Packard Co.
-- Sept. 27: BlackBerry Ltd.

From the article: Jodi Picoult Books
What is the best Jodi Picoult book? Jodi Picoult has published one book each year for many years, so you may be wondering where to start. Here Jodi Picoult readers share their picks for the best Jodi Picoult book of all time.
Best Jodi Picoult Book
- I've read several and ALL have captured my attention and heart, but my favorite so far has been "House Rules" followed by "Plain Truth". As I said, every other one has captured my heart, it's very hard to choose a favorite. I listened to them on audio books, through "Audible.com". Great place to get a membership, build up credits and get audio books at a reduced price. Being a knitter/crocheter, it's wonderful to plug in my IPod and work away while listening to a wonderful story. I love biographies, autobiographies, political and historical novels, too. I'm a "Ketchup-bottle reader". If there isn't anything else to read, I'll read the ingredients on the ketchup bottle at the cafe table! LOL!
- —elflein1
Jodi Picoult books
- I love all of jodi picoult book I read everone some move then once. My 10 favorit are: (1) My Sisters Keeper (2) Nineteen Mintures (3) Handle With care (4) The Pact (5) Change of Heart (6) Salem Falls (7) Loone wofe (8) House Rules (9) Song of The Humpback wheal (10) The Teenth circle. I did like her. I seen the movies the books was base on. The books were better. Looking forward in reading Between the lines
- —Guest Mike
Sing You Home
- I have read about nine of Jodi's books within the past few months and I would have to say that Sing You Home has been the most engaging to me. I read it in 2 days!!
- —Guest Pam
Salem Falls
- A heart tugger with twists that keep the reader enthralled from beginning to end. My favorite of all time!
- —LanieKD
Vanishing act
- I lIke all piccoult's book I've read. But so far vanishing act is the best.
- —Guest Anonymous
Keeping Faith
- First book by Jodi I read, excellent. I have read every other book written since then. She never fails to engross me. Look forward to more reading material by Jodi in 2012.
- —Guest Elsie Chalmers
Nineteen Minutes and The Pact
- MY favortie books of hers are "Nineteen Minutes," "The Pact," and "Salem Falls", all 3 are superb and would make good movies Part of the reason I loved all three is the character of Jordan the attorney in all 3; he's smart, but adorable, and his helper Selena, their relaionship is a riot. Very believable, and I once worked for a huge law firm in Chicago. We didn't have a lawyer s sexy as Jordan as depicted, but we did have very hard working guys.
- —Guest Eileen Kowis
Sing You Home
- I love all of her books but my favorite is Sing you home. I also loved the CD that came with it. My second favorite Picoult book is House Rules..She is just amazing!!
- —Guest Lori Forst
19 Minutes
- This one got my attention the most, I couldn't put it down some of the others have a few pages id rather skip over but this had none, a close second is definately the pact though
- —Guest Booster11
The Pact
- This book was amazing first book I read and I was completely hooked. Nineteen minutes also another favorite. But all of her books are great!
- —Guest Marissa
handle with care
- For me, handle with care is picoult's best paced, well written and most interesting story. Although the ending leaves the reader slightly dissapointed, handle with care is picoult's masterpiece. The first picoult i ever read and by far the best
- —Guest sasha
Nineteen Minutes
- I am saying that the best Jodi Picoult book is Nineteen Minutes solely because that is what you should start out with. However, I do not have a favorite of her books since all of hers are the greatest books I have ever read. People say that a lot about people's books, but with Picoult I can truly say that. Other good ones are My Sisters Keeper and The Pact, but I'm only saying that because those are ones I have read. I'm still working on reading every book of hers ever written. I just started Handle with Care, and I'm almost afraid to read it because I know I would stay up for 24 hours just to read it, analyze it in y head, and then read it again. If you havent read a Jodi Picoult book, though, please start with Nineteen Minutes. Then I promise you you'll want to read them all.
- —Guest Emily
My Sister's Keeper and Others
- My sisters keeper was a really emotional book for me, but i really loved The Pact and Handle with Care as well! She handles the characters so well and I can't wait to read her newest book!
- —Guest SoHard!
Change of Heart
- "Change of Heart" was beautifully written and expresses all of the character's emotions and brought me to tears. I strongly suggest that you read Change of Heart, and read one of Jodi Picoult's Amazing works of art.
- —Guest iCandii03243
MY Top 10 best books
- 1) My Sister's Keeper 2) Nineteen Mintures 3) Sing You Home 4) House Rules 5) Handle With Care 6) Change Of Heart 7) The Pack 8) Salem Falls 9) Keeping Faith 10) Tenth Circle Jodi Picoult other books are good as well. 11) Vanshing Acts 12) Perfect Match 13) Plan Truth 14) Harvest of Heart 15) Song of The Humback Wheal 16) Picture Perfect 17) Mercy 18) Second Glance Note have not read Over the moon
