"Once Upon a River" is set just south of where I live and the author is from Kalamzoo. I tend to be a sucker for books about or by rivers and trains, so I'm sure I'll read it. What age would you recommend someone read it as I have a teenage daughter. Looking on your TBR pile, I see several that are major works. The Brothers Karamazov is the best novel of all times, in my opinion. I liked On The Road, but maybe because it was one of the books I read while hiking the Appalachian Trail. The Confederacy of Dunces is one of the funniest books I've read. And "The Road" is haunting but profound.

Thanks, my Plan to Read list has gotten a little out of control...I've been in Argentina for a few months and I miss being able to walk into an English bookstore. Pepperdine is pretty great. I met a lot of amazing people there. Where did you end up going? I noticed you read Roots awhile ago-- I'm about 4/5 of the way through and stuck. Does it pick up at the end? I really loved it until the story got to Kunta's grandson. Either way, I'm going to push myself to the end someday soon.

Sorry, didn't see your reply. I don't check here often.

I'm actually from Baku, born and raised. 16 wonderful early years of my life. Other than that, lived in Novosibirks for 1 year. Left all together in 1990.

From your picture, I would've never guessed that you had ties to Kavkaz.

Thanks. I try. Being raised in the Soviet Union warps one's taste in literature. ;)

And your shelf is quite impressive, too.
