book recommendations

i got so many great book recommendations the other day- thank you! i wrote them all down and took the list to the library and i thought you might be interested in what i'm reading now. i narrowed it down based on what was available at the library that day {and some personal choice too, of course}


currently reading: people of the book by geraldine brooks 
{over half done and loving it}
on standby: on beauty by zadie smith
water for elephants by sara gruen
the corrections by jonathan franzen

and to return the favor, here are a couple of my personal recommendations:
empire falls by richard russo
flight by sherman alexi

  6. I am not really reading anything right now. I am going though one of those "not reading" fazes. But when I come out of it I will keep your suggestions in mind. :)
