Three Cups of Tea by Mortenson/Relin and The Two Trillion Dollar Meltdown by Morris.
That was worth being #133 in the library queue. Wonderful book.
I also enjoyed âHomer and Langleyâ by E.L. Doctorow
If you liked The Forgotten Garden or Thirteenth Tale, try The Last Will of Moira Leahy. Acts of Faith, by Mitch Albom is good, if you like his style of books.
As the Great World Spins
Colum McCann
Gorgeous writing, and a big generous heart toward all the characters. I came across it by accident, almost didnât start it because the plot seemed obscure and itâs set in the 70âs, an odd decade to read about.
couldnât put it down.
The Lady Elizabeth by Allison Weirâhistorical novel about Queen Elizabethâs childhood & ascention to the throne. (I think Weir is a better/more accurate novelist than Phillipa Gregory.)
Greta, Gina Barreca is very funny! I attended a charity function recently and she was key-note speakerâlove her.
Just finished Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! by Fannie Flagg (author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.)
Delightful.
garlandâitâs called Let the Great World Spin. I just put it on hold at the library. 
Lorrie Mooreâs A Gate at the Stairs. Itâs brainy and loaded with word-humor and word-awareness, but so very human and warm and accessible.
MommusicâWhoops, I knew that!
I think youâll really like it.
Harrietâloved Mooreâs writing (as always), but the story and characters didnât entirely hang together for me.
We canât like <em>all</em> the same things, garland. 
I just fell for this one all the way.
Next up, a Jonathan Safran Foer binge.
Has anyone read âGenerosity: An Enhancementâ by Richard Powers?
I work in a library, have seen it come in and out, and keep meaning to ask for feedback from my favorite bibliophilic patrons. A preponderance of men seem to be reading it.
It was written half a millennium ago⊠but the what it reveals about the human nature still holds true today!
I. Have. To. Stop.
My Kindle is bursting.
Atlas Shrugged
Just finished Astrid and Veronica by Linda Olsson. Loved the lyrical descriptions of Swedish countryside and New Zealand beaches; overall, I thought Olsson (this is her first novel) presented a compelling story of an unlikely friendship between two women.
The Convalescent by Jessica Anthonyâhilarious and beautiful and magical
Dave Eggers is a pretty cool dudeâI loved A.H.W.O.S.G. and woohoo to buying used McSweeneys off Amazon:)
A Fine Balance
just downloaded a couple of the last suggestions: let the world spin and a gate at the stairs.
my first choice is to go to a book store and browse through the titles and carry out a few booksâbut iâm off on a short trip and love using my e-book so i donât have to carry a bag of books!
happy reading to all!
^Very nice:)
Definitely read A Fine Balance though. Itâs very good, especially the ending. (Itâs sad though)
