[LM_NET] HIT: title suggestions for teachers' reading club

[Pamela Thompson <pthomp@SISD.NET>]

Thank you to all who answered my request for books for teachers to read. I have 
interesting titles to choose from. Many of you said, "anything by Jodi Picoult," 
and the consensus was-- A Thousand Splendid Suns is a better book than The Kite 
Runner. The other suggestions are:

The Children's Blizzard
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
The Thirteenth Tale
People of the Book
The Secret Life of Bees
Angela's Ashes
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Me Talk Pretty One Day
Naked (Sedaris)
Teacher Man
If I'd Known Then
Lucia, Lucia
Pillars of the Earth
Nineteen Minutes (Picoult)
The Bean Trees
Three Cups of Tea
The Other Boleyn Girl
The Glass Castle
The Double Bind
The Book Thief
Plain Truth (Picoult)
Devil in the White City
Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid
Bridge of Sighs
The Time Traveler's Wife.

After reading reviews, we chose Wild Swans, The Time Traveler's Wife,
People of the Book, Naked, Teacher Man, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the 
Night-time, Twilight-due to its appeal among our YA girls-and The Virgin Suicides.

Happy reading, everyone,
