I’ll have to second the Ann Patchet reccomendation! Bel Canto is one of my all time favorites!

Thanks for the reviews – I love seeing what other people are reading. I have been wanting to read Heat and totally agree with you about I Know This Much Is True. I only didn’t put that down because a) I’m anal and b) I loved She’s Come Undone. Will have to check out The Bean Trees too!

If you liked Bean Trees, you’ll flip over Animal Dreams by Kingsolver. I think it’s her best. And have you read Ann Patchett? Really wonderful writer. Thanks for sharing your reviews.

If you liked The Bean Trees, you’ve GOT to read Animal Dreams. It’s incredible! Thanks for sharing your reading. Have you ever read Ann Patchett? She’s amazing.

BeanTree was great. I second the recommendation for the Poisonwood Bible. It was a powerful story, well told, well drawn.

I liked the Eight more than you seemed to. I liked the historical context, and the drawing together of the storylines at the end.

I, too, love all the Kingsolver books (including the Poisonwood Bible, although I think I listened to that on tape). Hmm, must go check out that LibraryThing…

I love the Bean Tree. I love all of Kingsolver’s books except the POisonwood Bible. That just didn’t do it for me; I never even finished it. But the rest: excellent! And I picked up “Heat” the other day. I can wait to start in on it!

Love Kingsolver! Animal Dreams is one of my favorite books…

Also Love LibraryThing! I love seeing who else owns the same books I do, and what else they have that I need to check out…

I’ll have to look for Eventide, I’ve found several books I really liked from the list of what you’re reading. Keep up the great reviews!
