Sheryl_at_Ubookquitous (ubookquitous) | 377 comments Good selections on the list so far. I loved Reading Lolita in Tehran - it really says something about how readers and thinkers can exist in difficult circumstances. I hope you like it

Lara (princesspeanut) | 5 comments I haven't read it yet, but I am pretty excited. I am determined to read the book before I see the movie. When do you plan on starting?


message 5: by Jack (new)

Jack (jack_) Maybe next month. I hope it lives up to my expectations.
