Interim Post - Current Recommendations

While we wait for everyone to sign up, do their first "test-posts" and start our discussion during the week of June 25th, I'd like to summarize our recent recommendations so we have a group of books from which we might draw for our next "assignment" or just to read in-between.

(1) My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (recommended by clodia, below)
(2) The Plot Against America by Philip Roth (recommended by me, to everyone I meet)
(3) Night (Oprah's Book Club version; new translation from the French) by Elie Weisel (recommended by me, to everyone who will listen)
(4) Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire (recommended by me, because I love retellings of favorite stories)

Got any more recommendations? E-mail us!
