The Book Thief, & a few others that are on my virtual bookshelf.


Some friends & I started a book club blog. We just finished reading The Book Thief (loved it, loved it, loved it), & have been discussing it here. Jump in, if you'd like.
.
My NYC book group met a few days ago & made our picks for most of 2009. They include:
  • A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Smith - one of my favorites)
  • Banker to the Poor (Yunus)
  • In the Time of the Butterflies (Alvarez - another personal favorite)
  • Better (Gawande)
  • Daughter of Fortune (Allende)
  • The Book Thief (Zusak - I'd probably read it again)
  • The Brothers Karamazov (Dostoyevsky)
  • Follow the River (Thom)

On my personal to read list:

  • Anna Karenina (Tolstoy)
  • Einstein (Isaacson)
  • My Name is Asher Lev (Potok)
  • Sense & Sensibility (Austen)
  • The Partly Cloudy Patriot (Vowell)
  • Drames of my Father (Obama

I'm so glad you loved The Book Thief. It was my favorite book that our book club read this year. Pope Joan is good, I recommend that one for you guys too!
