I'm glad to have a chance to refresh my memory. You picked so great books! Life of Pi is wonderful. I'll be interested to see what you think of Amsterday and the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (I have that on tape but haven't listened to it yet). Which book are you planning on reading first? I did see your list earlier. I’m glad to have a chance to refresh my memory. You picked so great books! Life of Pi is wonderful.

I soooo look forward to reading: Tale of Despereaux, American Pastoral, and Amsterdam. Just can't fit them all in! I really enjoyed Amazing Adventures and Life of Pi. Great list!

You also have great books. I am so jealous. I'm really looking forward to reading the Diaz book, but I have to wait until August for it to qualify. :( I read Life of Pi by Yann Martel earlier in the year. It was good, but I wasn't superimpressed. That said, it's still worth reading, and people have different tastes. I've read mixed reviews of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, for example, and also Octavian the Nothing, but I'm still going to read them (or at least try anyway) and judge for myself. Oooh, aaaaah.

Amsterdam was my favorite of the ones I've read. I really liked American Pastoral as well (I'm a big Philip Roth fan), but Amsterdam is in my Top Ten Favorites of All Time (subject to change at any moment). Great list you put together!
