Borrowed this meme from Cara. Looking down the list, I realize that I can't really think of any books that I WOULDN'T read. Some of them I just have never heard about, and they wouldn't necessary grab my attention at a bookstore or library - give me murder mysteries and/or fantasy any day - but it's not like I wouldn't read them. I just haven't gotten around to them yet. Oh, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil should totally be on that list. (Not underlined because someone borrowed my copy and never returned it. Grrr...)

I can recommend a few of the books on your "never heard of list"
Life of Pi, Lovely Bones, Curious Incedent... - are all really good.
One Hundred Years of Solitute is good, but not an easy read. Took me a while to get through it!
Life of Pi is BRILLIANT, and I didn't care for Lovely Bones, but probably because it wasn't what I expected/wanted it to be, so if you haven't heard of it, you might enjoy it....
hmm...I saw a couple of those titles at Target earlier today. I took a look at them, but didn't pick anything up. I might indulge in a new story after tech!
