On the nightstand
By Piper Jones Castillo
Published May 18, 2007
For her new book If They Only Listened to Us: What Women Voters Want Politicians to Hear, Melinda Henneberger, political editor of the online Huffington Post, talked with 234 women in 20 states, blue and red. What's on your nightstand? A Tale of Two Cities. Have you always been a Dickens fan? I'm reading this now because of a recent trip to Paris. The visit put me in the mood for the French Revolution. Are you interested in any contemporary authors? I know most women don't like Philip Roth (Everyman), but I am an exception. Who inspired you to become a writer? My Uncle Bob. He was a lawyer, but he also was an unpublished playwright. He gave me things to read when I was very young, like when I was 3. He encouraged me to bat around my ideas.
