I think Motherless Brooklyn would be on it, because I loved that book. <br /><br />Emperor's Children didn't do it for me. I thought it was a rip off of Iris Murdock's A Fairly Honourable Defeat. Not homage; rip off. <br /><br />Thanks also for the reminder to read Kavalier & Clay. It's been on my TBR shelf for too long.Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-71789031930082652382010-05-25T02:42:54.481-05:002010-05-25T02:42:54.481-05:00Please enter me in this giveaway!

I've read it 3 times already and just can't get enough of it. I've also listened to the tapes of the second book, but didn't like it so much (I think it was the voice of the reader that put me off).<br /><br />e-mail: mozart_84@live.comMozettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267731815392625679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-56935378567203809452010-05-14T21:00:29.922-05:002010-05-14T21:00:29.922-05:00Hi Greg, let's see if I can get lucky twice. ...Hi Greg, let's see if I can get lucky twice. I'm an existing follower. I would love to read Let the Great World Spin and I'm currently out of book money (sigh). Here's my NYC book pick: Siri Hustvedt's The Blindfold; it is a mysterious and disturbing novel about a young woman who comes from the Midwest to attend Columbia and gets into a really strange and disturbing relationship. I read this novel years ago and never forgot it.bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-20251646730648974192010-05-14T18:51:18.983-05:002010-05-14T18:51:18.983-05:00I am an existing follower.
