good choices! loved Into the Wild, Atonement, and Blood. Tell me if you get really mad at the kid in Into the Wild. I did. -ekw
LOVE Atonement (you know, he also writes for the New Yorker and is excellent there as well).
Marquez . . . well, I've started that book a hundred times. He's like Don DeLillo (dang full of himself and wordy as heck). Heaven forbid they abbreviate one thought. Although, DeLillo's new book is LESS THAN 350 pages. Get back, Loretta!
Yeah, they teach 100 Years in 12th IB, so I kinda have to read it...
Ummmm so do you guys do books on tape when you go drive all over the US of A?
I read 100 Years a couple of years ago and enjoyed it, though all the generations of people have the same name. Let me know what you think of it when you finish.
