It's so great! <br />You would probably enjoy The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, by Anne Fadiman. I had to read it this summer before starting nursing school, and it's so interesting.

Very good!!<br /><br />Some of my other faves:<br /><br />Year of Wonders, by Geraldine Brooks (she also wrote People of the Book, which I also liked, but not as well)<br />Water for Elephants, by Sarah Gruen<br />One Thousand White Women, by Jim Fergus<br />Paint it Black, by Janet Fitch (a bit of a downer, but I think you'd like it)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673008387789674916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692547058929464681.post-18569105623279332182010-07-08T06:54:07.629-07:002010-07-08T06:54:07.629-07:00OK, i just checked my goodreads list and i have su...OK, i just checked my goodreads list and i have suggestions after all:<br /><br />On Love, Alain de botton (i adore him, not sure if you will but it's a quick read)<br />Kissing the Virgin's Mouth (pretty sure you'll like this)<br />Peony in Love, Lisa see<br />The Red Tent (not sure about this, depends if you like historical rewrites but if you do it's really fun)<br />The House of the Spirits (isabel allende)Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621824930235907359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692547058929464681.post-7990325196046933812010-07-07T09:02:07.133-07:002010-07-07T09:02:07.133-07:00We share many of the same favorite novels :)
