 ctober: The Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann  Published in 1966\\
 , it was the biggest selling book of the year.  It has since gone on to b
 ecome one of the best selling novels of all time.  The story follows Ann 
 and Neely\\, young women who move to New York in 1945 to seek fame and fo
 rtune.  They love\\, they social climb\\, and meet all sorts of people th
 at help and hurt them along the way.  This book has everything!  The rich
 \\, the famous\\, the drugs\\, the high life and the low.   The book was 
 controversial at the time because it was thought that certain characters 
 were based on such folk as Judy Garland and Dean Martin and\\, famously\\
 , Ethel Merman.  The book was also made into the great campy movie with P
 atty Duke and her dolls.  Get ready to read a true phenomenon.        Nov

  Rights Movement to Reaganomics to queer and gender studies\\, Butler's t
 ales of facism\\, gender violence\\, climate chaos and relationships have
  influenced writers of every genre.  Truly ahead of her time and timeless
