Thanks for the recommendations! I will look into these when I return from traveling. I downloaded "Everyday by The Sun" to my Kindle to take with me. Have you read it yet?Talk with you soon, Laurie
Hi! I agree Faulknerish should be a word! Ok you asked for it...LOL Here are my favorite books, or ones I thought you would enjoy from the past year. I love to read many different genres, except biographys, so these books reflect that.Radio Shangri-La by Lisa Napoli This is about Buhtan, the happiest place on earth.Incendiary by Chris Cleave Written as a letter to Osama bin LadenFinny by Justin Kramon Funny and a love storyThe Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton GREAT!Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay Great too!Change of Hear by Josi Picoult Miracles, love, a very good book. I was surprisedThe Help by Kathryn Stockett Domestic help in the 1960's south great!Sku Burial by Xinran Love story, about TibetShadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon a great readFirefly Lane by Kristin Hannah Love story, Cancer human emotionsRoom by Emma Donoghue A mother and Son help captive in a room. Told from the boys perspective. He is 5 Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson - GreatThe Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins - Could't put downThe Passage by Justin Cronin - Futuristic but greatOne Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Human NatureAnything by Nelson DeMille, Chris Bohjalian or Ken FollettI hope this helps. Let me know if you plan to read any. I would love to know what you think. Any recommendations for me?
I haven't read anything Faulknerish (is that a word?) lately. I have read some great books though. What is your favorite genre?
I am also a fan of Faulkner! I received an email about the book. I can't wait to read it. We will have to compare notes :) Thanks for friending me!
Have you read Every Day by the Sun? You are the only Shelfari member with this book, besides me! Just curious how it is.
Sam's shelf (30)Paul's shelf (373) haha
Paul if you can for browsing purposes you might like this one, "Signs and Symbols: An Illustrated guide to their origins and meanings." I just got this at the library, next time you are home you need to paruse it. look at it as in enyoy the browse. Putting on shelf now.
i love shelfari!
hey!!
ooo ok. hmm, well I really like Jonathan Safran Foer, "Extremely loud and Incredibly close" and my favorite, "Everything is Illuminated." I guess that's contemporary. I remember liking this book called "The sad truth about happiness," but I read it a long time ago. Paulo Coelho is always an easy read, do you read him? He's semi-contemporary I guess. I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask, I usually just go look on the new fiction shelf at the library when I'm looking for contemporary! If I think of anything, I'll let you know.
hands down more addicting thank facebook

Welcome to the group based on the book 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. There is a general explanation of the group under guidelines.The book(s) of the month (BOTM) that the group is reading are pinned to the top. I hope you will be able to enjoy the group and perhaps join in one or more of the monthly reads. We pick our next books for February about mid January. I will be posting the choices real soon. We are currently reading Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence and The Spy Who Came in From the ColdLook by John Le Carre.
How was the Hobbit?
i will kill you
Edgar Sawtelle is a mondern day Hamlet, so that might be a nice follow-up to our Hamlet unit.
What an impressive shelf! I'd like to see it once you have your graduate degree!Keep reading!
