Wow - what a lovely collection of books. I bet you don't know which one to start with first.
You're right, I have no idea what to read first!
Wow! Lots of good good books there. Happy reading!
What a great list of books! The cover of Confessions of a Former child grabbed my attention! I love Emily Dickinson's poems and hope that you enjoy them.
Great list!! I want to read Flygirl.
I didn't know Murakami had a memoir. How interesting. Now to decide which one to start! :)
Thanks for including Jesus Swept in your "to read" pile. The list gave me a flashback to Wind Up Bird Chronicle.
Yummmmmmmmmm.

PS Sorry. I've been writing as Liz lately.
Thanks, Kailana!
Thanks, Bonnie. The Emily Dickinson is the exact same book I read when I was thirteen, so I'll be traveling back to my childhood when I read it.
Beth: I can't wait to read Flygirl! I've heard nothing but great things about it!
Iliana: I should let you guys pick for me. Murakami's book is a small one. I think I'll save it for a weekend read.
Thanks, James, for visiting 1330v! I can't wait to read your book. I promise it'll be soon. Liz, huh? =)
Looking forward to your reviews for the Jewish Literature Challenge and Dewey's books.
The Maternal Is Political sounds really good! Enjoy your books.
I want to read Confessions of a Former Child too. It sounds wonderful.
I got What I Talk About When I Talk About Running for Christmas and jumped into it immediately. What a marvelous book! I've been pushing it at all my reading runner friends (which is a shockingly small number actually) but I haven't made the leap to non-runners yet as I don't know that they would like it nearly as much as crazy running folk. :-)
Because I Said So was another one I've read (a few years ago?) and thoroughly enjoyed.
Enjoy your haul!
Flygirl looks SO good. I look forward to reading your review on it! :D
You got some good ones - I'd love to read Flygirl, Because I Said So and The World to Come.
