not really. i've read all of these (except the new carey) too many times to count. i was fifteen when i found the prophet, and thought he was my little secret. boy was i heartbroken to find out i was the last to know. LOL. i may have ended up a baker instead of a prof of history, but i still love the stuff. except american history. unless of course it involves nic. not long enough. european history is much more interesting to me because it goes so far back. i like the ancients.... and anything to do with the roles of women in various cultures. now the etruscans, they knew how to appreciate a strong woman. and the art! if you are not a john irving fan, i would suggest starting with the world according to garp. (although hotel new hampshire and cider house rules are prob my favorites). he just gets more off the wall from there. he's kinda like the nic cage of current fiction.

Oooh Randy, you just touched the nerve! I´m so looking forward to buy me a Kindle... just waiting for it to be fully operational in Europe. The Sony reader is great, but I love Amazon´s supply of books better.

Will look for Wollstonecraft´s book. Love this kinda stuff.

Wow what an interesting (and diverse) list of books... Happy reading, Miss Grasshopper!
