I plan to order a book or two tonight, probably Kingsolver and .... still not sure.... The choices are all so good.

I can't believe you read Voyager after not liking #2. I admit if you ready any of the books, the first 3 are a series in itself and you don't have to read the rest. I am still plugging through the second to last one and it's hard cause I devoured the rest of them. Harry Potter -- just not to be a spoiler, I have to say I was disappointed. I may be the only person. And YES she needed a better editor. As for your pending list, I haven't ready any; but I noticed you read Bel Canto (did I recommend that one?) I LOVED that book and me too, I read it over a year ago and I still think about it. It was written so wonderfully, I can't imagine another author pulling off that subject. (I think the synopsis on the back doesn't do it justice). If you wanted to read more Sci Fi, I have recommendations: Connie Willis. I am on her 3rd book and I love her. To Say Nothing of the Dog and The Doomsday Book I highly recommend. I am reading Passage right now and while I like it less, it's still good. Okay, I've written enough ;) Hey there!

It is a beautifully written piece of fiction that you will enjoy and remember. My vote goes for Cellophane. It is a beautifully written piece of fiction that you will enjoy and remember.

I have been leaning towards the Kinsolver ever since I heard an interview with her on NPR, plus I'm a big fan of her fiction. Thanks!

MacKinnon. To be frightfully reductive, choose the former for an Appalachian baby boomer narrative, the latter for a Vancouverian (?) X-er take on the same topics. Both include recipes.
