I received some wonderful suggestions from many of you for memorable books
to follow The Kite Runner, by Hosseini, which I found to "rattle my
emotions" as a book had not done in a long time. So, here is the list of
titles and authors I plan to read my way through:
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, by Dai Sijie
Purple Hibiscus, by Adichie
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
Reading Lolita in Tehran, by Azar Nafisi
Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro
My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult
Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn
Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Two Old Women, by Velma Wallis.
Peter and the Starcatchers, by Ridley Pearson and Dave Barry.
Shining Hero, by Sara Banerji
Truth & Beauty: A Friendship, by Ann Patchett
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon
Me Talk Pretty One Day, by David Sedaris
