So what have you read and recommend? Would anyone be interested in doing a ring/ray for any/all of them?

I've read No Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July and I really enjoyed it. Some of the stories are a little 'out there' and I can imagine they'd make some people uncomfortable.

I've read
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

LOVED it! I'm considering buying another copy and doing a ring with it for BOers only because I know several of you want to read it... not sure how much interest there is though... I'll have to post about that later. Meetings ALL freaking day today.

I've had A Thousand Splendid Suns on my wishlist for a while.

I knew that one would be on people's wishlist and I too only meant doing it with BOers. Just want to see what I've been missing!

I've only even heard of one of them (A Thousand Splendid Suns) but only because it's been mentioned here. My reading tastes are usually quite different than the books on these types of list. *shrug*

I haven't read any of them. But I am interested in A Thousand Splendid Suns

None. :blush:

Pretty much the same here.

I just read the description for A thousand Splendid Suns and it sounds really good.

Not a one.

I've only read A Thousand Splendid Suns and it was awesome. Just awesome.

Yay! Candie did start a ring for it, and I am in!!!

I haven't read any of them and only heard of one of them.

Same here. These lists don't generally include the kind of books I would choose for myself.

Same here :D

ditto for me.

:ditto:
