This just in from the Associated Press:

NEW YORK -- A Swedish author whose new book was promoted as a sequel to J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" cannot publish it in the United States because it too closely mirrors Salinger's classic without adequate parody or critique, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Thomas (Wally) Clarke of Spring Garden Township has written "General George S. Patton's Typical Soldier."

Clarke's account of his experiences as a World War II combat infantryman includes maps, photos and battle descriptions. Letters to his parents and siblings are interspersed throughout the text.

Best-sellers at Borders Books & Music in Springettsbury Township for the week that ended June 21:

1. "Horse Soldiers" by Doug Stanton.
2. "The Angel's Game" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
3. "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult.
4. "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer.
5. "Cook Yourself Thin" by Lifetime TV.

A new children's picture book by Laurie Lears of Shrewsbury Township is now available.

"Stay Away from Rat Boy" is illustrated by Red Hansen. It is the story of a class bully befriending the classroom's pet rat.

The book is $16.99 at bookstores and at www.albertwhit 

If the Civil War conjures images of debonair soldiers in dashing uniforms and with unbreakable principles, "Seen the Glory" (Simon & Schuster, $25) might just dash those dreams.

The soldiers in former York countian John Hough Jr.'s meticulously researched historical novel leave all romantic notions of the war behind. They march for days on end without bathing. They eat a scarce, rotting diet of salted pork and wormy hardtack. They face as much danger from disease and bacteria as they do on the battlefield. Most have, at best, an eighth-grade education and a muddied idea of the war's motivation.
