WHAT THEY'RE READING

GARY COLLINS

Actor and TV talk host

Prince of Tides

Pat Conroy

"I keep rereading it. It's one of the best books I've ever read. He wrote it in South Carolina, but it what he says about the land and the water there fits any land and water."

MARY ANN MOBLEY

Actress, former Miss America

Debt of Honor

Tom Clancy

"It's a fictional story of what could happen to America if a foreign government like Japan brought us to our knees financially. It's kind of scary. Makes you feel someone grabbing at your back."

CRITIC'S CHOICE

-- THE FURTWANGLER RECORD. By John Ardoin. Amadeus Press. $32.95.

Wilhelm Furtwangler, the German conductor, severely damaged his reputation by remaining and working in Nazi Germany, but the fact remains that he left an invaluable musical legacy. John Ardoin, longtime music critic for The Dallas Morning News, has written a welcome guide to Furtwangler's work. Even those disposed against the conductor should find this an absorbing, perhaps even mind-changing, study.

-- PALE BLUE DOT. By Carl Sagan. Random House. $34.

Carl Sagan is a visionary who foresees a glorious future of human space exploration, as well as the dangers and the price tag. Pale Blue Dot is as readable and informative as they come.

-- KOLMSKY HEIGHTS. By Lionel Davidson. St. Martin's. $22.95.

British novelist Lionel Davidson exposes layer after layer of intrigue, suspense and danger in this post-Cold War thriller set in Siberia. A Native American is sent to protect new scientific information involving a frozen woolly mammoth. The book is distinguished by captivating dialogue and a smooth narrative style.

-- EATING PAVLOVA. By D.M. Thomas. Carroll & Graf. $21.

Experimental novelist D.M. Thomas is always interesting, even when his books are dramatic failures - as in the case of his new fictional work about Sigmund Freud.
