Life after Reading Lolita in Tehran

Coming to the end of RLIT I have to say I feel a little sad in prospects of having to part with it. It has sustained us for about half a year.

Anyway, it is high time we work out a reading list for the new season and beyond. We still have 4 books to read, 3 of which having already leaders, while the 4th one is begging for a leader. They are:
1. Kitchen -- Mar. 24th, 2010 -- 潇竹
2. Bonesetter's daughter -- ., 2010 -- 紫罗兰
3. The Reader -- May, 2010 -- 老牛
4. Three cup of tea -- June, 2010 -- 雪

In other words we are fine till summer but we have few choices after it. Please recommend any books you have read/heard of that might be of interest to the group.
Your contribution is greatly appreciate.

Hi Professor, thanks for thinking ahead.
A few titles that I read for your consideration:

Mountains beyond Mountains, about Dr. Paul Farmer and his work in Haiti, by Tracy Kidder

Eat, Pray and Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert

My Friedn Leonard, by James Frey

A Million Pieces, by James Frey

More to come,

We probably can ask others to talk about their reading/watching so all can share a story.

thanks!
Thank you!
