The Poisonwood Bible
I borrowed some books to read during the summer. And I got the following:
Atonement - Ian McEwan
Incidents of the Shrine - Ben Okri
Stars of the New Curfew - Ben Okri
Eucalyptus - Murray Bail
If On A Winter's Night A Traveller - Italo Calvino
Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino
Has anyone read any of these books? If you have, what did you think?
If On A Winter's Night a Traveller - Italo Calvino
To The Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf
Please tell me what you think of the book once you have a solid opinion of it. I am being forced to read it for my junior year English class and I disagree with it almost entirely. I want to hear another person's opinion to see if I'm perhaps missing the appeal of the book.Originally Posted by Pyrrho

I'm all up in Sherlock Holmes's business. Doyle is making an impression on me. I'm really enjoying it.

A book that I saw just sitting on the shelf there:
Great Hair : Elegant Styles for Every Occasion (yes, my girly side took over when I saw that
I thought it would be interesting to see what was in there but Heaven only knows how a person could attempt those styles without a friend creating those styles for you!
