Ooh.. Susan.. can I play, can I, can I? Am going to do this one.
oh you've read so many. Very impressive! I can seriously recommend the Anne Marie McDonald book - she writes these big, amazing, incredibly well thought out family stories that are traumatic and ecstatic and horrific and powerful. Give it some thought!
The begats bit made me laugh! :-)
I've only read about a dozen of those books on your list. It would be embarassing to list them on my blog and highlight around 12 out of so many. Also, thanks for the comment on my blog. The Black Purl yarn is scheduled for socks, but by the time I get to it, who knows.
Looks like we have a lot of the same books in our "have read" list.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope that you'll get to see Stephanie one day soon. She seems to have an awful lot of fans in Australia, so she should do a book tour there!

Where is this list from? I'm assuming its a top 100 most read list? I obviously havnt read as many as you, but given that you read most of yours before I was born I have catching up to do. If so many of them weren't from way before my time I'm sure I would have done better.
