Thanks! As much as I loved The Kite Runner, I also enjoyed A Thousand Splendid Suns even more. Beautiful. Oh, and from what I can tell, yes - all baby books are that repetitive. Drives me crazy.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337939211349242608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-22021651450587124212011-01-02T19:09:04.152-07:002011-01-02T19:09:04.152-07:00So many great books!!!

I read 'My Name is Asher Lev' last year and it totally blew me away, especially growing up in a such a devout culture. Steinbeck - love that man. One of my favorites of his (which may not be for everyone) is called 'Travels with Charlie,' and he drives around the country in a camper with his dog. 'O Pioneers' - loved that audio books (go Librivox!) I really want to read 'Kite Runner' and 'A Thousand Splendid Suns,' but haven't quite gotten there yet. 'My side of the Mountain' - I have always dreamed of living in a tree. It's still tempting. Have you read Poisonwood Bible? If you haven't, I think you should.trishtatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761421199838284000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-21810849414020549502011-01-01T14:44:28.542-07:002011-01-01T14:44:28.542-07:00My mother-in-law said she wouldn't let Andrew ...My mother-in-law said she wouldn't let Andrew read My Side of the Mountain for fear she'd wake up and find him gone to live in a tree.Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178196211079230972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-34076020723234921682011-01-01T12:07:55.463-07:002011-01-01T12:07:55.463-07:00Aside from the Laura Ingalls and the baby books, I...Aside from the Laura Ingalls and the baby books, I've read most of what you listed here and generally agree with your reviews. I'd forgotten how charming Roald Dahl's books are. I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory approximately 8 gazillion times as a child. Now I want to go back and re-read all of his books.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338949204492816733noreply@blogger.com
