[quote=Anonymous]Oh man! I came back here after a few days and am sad no one else mentioned Zora Neale Hurston! I did go through a big Harlem Renaissance (sp?) phase with a focus on women writers at one point, so I was seriously into Hurston and Nella Larson's Passing and some other books, so I may have thought the appeal would be more universal. Just wanted to add two more books. The first is a somewhat complicated beach read (funny, but also touching and a little bit deep): The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All by Alan Gurganis (excuse my spelling; I've been up way too long today). The second, which is a quick read and also touching but in a more direct way, is Alison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It. It was my Bible for a little while during the time I was figuring out the whole working mom thing. I guess I shouldn't fuss about people not posting about Hurston since my own list (posted earlier) looks realy weird - Irving (OWEN MEANY!), Hawthorne, Dickens, Alice Walker, Hurston, and whatever else I said. I should add Chaucer or something just to make it look even more random. I'll have to check out some others people have listed and fire up the Kindle while I'm getting ready for bed. Thanks, OP, for getting all this great book sharing started![/quote]
