Does anyone recommend any other of his books? </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/whats-everyone-reading#post-41 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:50:58 +0000 robin 41@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>A friend recommended "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. I thought it was great. It's the story of a boy, born mute in rural Wisconsin, whose father is murdered. He has to go on the run with his three dogs. The description of life in the wild is wonderful. At one point the story is even told from the dog's point of view. Very imaginative. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/whats-everyone-reading#post-28 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:54:14 +0000 fictiongirl 28@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>I highly recommend "What You Have Left" by Will Allison. I read it earlier this summer and can't get it out of my head. It's the story of a 5 year old girl who is essentially abandoned and has to make a life for herself under almost impossible circumstances. I'd read other books since then, but none compare to this one. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/whats-everyone-reading#post-21 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:00:45 +0000 claudia 21@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>I just finished reading Tess Gerritsen, Life Support; it was a great read. Fast paced, suspenseful, I couldn't wait to read the last page. I also just finished Dean Koontz, Lightning,another great book; takes time travel &#38; makes it thrilling. I like the medical thriller genre. Any recommendations? </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/whats-everyone-reading#post-13 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:32:21 +0000 Jem Bloomfield 13@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>I've just read Graham Greene's "The Human Factor", which was very enjoyable - the first book by Greene I think I've read. Just starting Adam Nicholson's "Power and Glory" about the translation of the King James Bible - I hurried through a couple of chapters of it a while ago whilst working on marginalia in the Renaissance, and was so impressed I'm returning to it for fun. Interesting material, but also a cracking good read. (Never knew that Londoners in the seventeenth century believed that in the spring swallows returned from wintering at the bottom of tin mines in Cornwall...) </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/whats-everyone-reading#post-12 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:24:56 +0000 robin 12@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>I just finished "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini and highly recommend it. I loved "The Kite Runner" and this was this one was every bit as good.</p> <p>Next up is "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman. I saw a documentary about this same topic on The History Channel last month and found it very interesting. </p>
