Ten top new books for different kinds of book-reading moms

The staff of the Christian Science Monitor came up with a list of the 10 best 2013 books for 10 different kinds of book-reading moms.

One title on the list:
The Flamethrowers, by Rachel Kushner: for the hipster mom

If your mom's fiction tastes tend toward the edgy, you might want to consider The Flamethrowers by award-winning author Rachel Kushner ("Telex from Cuba"). Toggling between New York and Italy, this book is a ripely combustible mix of art, politics, motorcycles, and dangerous youth. Highly recommended for moms who crave a taste of life in the fast lane.
