Bee Season and The Poisonwood Bible. You can't miss.

This is a great list with some books that usually don't make the required reading lists. The Spirit Catches You will appeal if you like non-fiction. Hunger is beautiful but bleak. I haven't read Palace Walk but do like Mahfouz. And Bee Season is very good.

Moll Flanders and Portrait of a Lady. Both very interesting books dealing with two sides of the same subject. You should enjoy both. Pax - C

The only one I've read is The Poisonwood Bible, but I recommend it highly. It's long, and it's depressing, but sooo good.

I'm reading Poisonwood Bible right now and it's really good, so I'd recommend that one.

Gatsby and Their Eyes Were Watching God. Discard the rest.
