Okay, I lied. Chumley’s, the old-school Prohibition-era speakeasy is full of book jackets and their authors’ portraits, most of whom wined and dined right there. Willa Cather, William Faulkner, and even John Steinbeck!

A little something about Willa Cather. This Nebraskan author is the main reason I became an avid reader. I HATED reading in high school, a teacher mentioned her name in English class, and subsequently felt stupid for never having heard of her. I marched right on down to the library after class, and never looked back. Literally. In a literary way. A bookworm was born!
