to procrastinate making up a test for my Beginning Grammar class, i thought it would be fun to put up a list here of the books i have particularly enjoyed during the past year or so. this list sounds better than i am...my actual reading also consists of a lot of dreck, mainly in the form of mindless murder mysteries.
so, in no particular order:
Changing Planes - Ursula K. LeGuin
Crescent - Diana Abu-Jaber
Bangkok 8 - John Burdett
Child of my Heart - Alice McDermott
The Lost Garden - Helen Humphreys
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
The Master Butchers' Singing Club - Louise Erdrich
#1Ladies Detective Agency - Alexander McCall Smith
The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd
Summerland - Michael Chabon
Unless, a Novel - Carol Shields
The Frederica Quartet: Virgin in the Garden, Still Life, Babel Tower, A Whistling Woman - A.S. Byatt
Ten Little Indians - Sherman Alexie
