Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
I was hoping to get the Aeneid, too, so I can read along with my daughter as she just began it for her English class. Luckily, we read some of it last year when she was still homeschooled. However, there wasn't a single copy at the library of the book or CD.
Changes: A Love Story by Ama Ata Aidoo and a book by Nguyen Huy Thiep, but I can't find the translation of the title anywhere, unfortunately.
The Ringmaster's Daughter by Jostein Gaarder. I've read it so many times but love it so much!!
Siddharta by Herman Hesse, I failed at returning it, so now iv'e got a rather large fee wating for me...

The last book I took from the library dealt with the life of Marilyn Monroe. Fascinated about her mysterious death, I wrote something
about what the circumstances could have been and how a lot depended on her upbringing:

the library has something written by her her half sister which I took out earlier, and it gave me a new perspective on the diva.

3 books:

The Scarlet Letter - Nathanial Hawthorne
The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger. I had never, until recently, encountered this book so I thought I'd pick it up for a spot of light reading, considering it's so well renowned as a book taught in high schools. I finished it this evening and was mildly disappointed that I was never taught it in school. I can certainly understand why so many students are given this to read.
Washington's Crossing, Fischer; By the Light of the Moon, Koontz; umm Master and Margarita and The Fall. I finally paid my fine!
L'Amant (The Lover) by Marguerite Duras
To the Is-Land by Janet Frame
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
I just checked out Godless: The Church of Liberalism by Ann Coulter. I haven't had a chance to start it yet.
