This is a great idea, Catherine--to keep track of who suggested what books to read. I'm going to start doing this as well.

As for actually reading the books... well, that's another matter. That book-stack just keeps getting taller.

The Time Traveler's Wife is an awesome book it really makes you look at your own life with a new prospective. I just got done with it!

If you like short stories - try "Just a Little Attention to Detail..." by Catherine L. Kulkarni. I liked the writing style. The book was engaging to say the least. I also loved the picture on the cover :-)
