Olga, I love your most varied list! I would hate it my friends only read one genre.
The one I forgot-A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. On New Years Eve four strangers meet at the top of a London building known as a suicide spot. They all have their reasons for being there. The book follows their travels and travails as they look for meaning outside themselves. Hornby is an author who can put a humorous twist on even the darkest subjects and he always makes me think.
I heard the rerun of a show with the author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle on Diane Rehm yesterday. I also heard the him on Whad'Ya Know a while back and he sounds interesting. Has anyone read the book? We won't hold the fact that it's an Oprah pick against it. Hey, here's an idea. Why not make this our first group read and we can discuss it when Robin picks the day for our WalkTalkCoffee?
ED. to add-great minds think alike-Robin and I simultaneously posting!

Hmmm. The library says there's 529 holds on the first returned of 128 copies.
We might need to try for an older Oprah's selection. :)
Don't suppose its at Bookmans?
Yeah, I looked at that, too. Let's just wait until 1Jan to make a choice
