  1. WAY too heavy for me. :D

    You still have time to add The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, you know. Brilliant book. ;)

  3. _The Time Traveler's Wife_ is the only one I've already read. Though I do have quite a few of the selections on Mt. TBR ;)

  4. I've read 4 of them, and tried to get through The Dante Club. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it when you finish it (if you manage to finish it - good luck!).

    I haven't heard of some of them though.
