I just finished reading a book that has been on my shelf for a while\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.<\/p>\n

  I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys Kingsolver.  It was spectacular and it made me miss a few things: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kentucky (especially the fact that one of the main characters spent her college career in an apartment on Euclid Ave.)<\/li>\n
  2. Thunderstorms.  Big, booming, loud thunderstorms.<\/li>\n
  3. Writing and talking about novels.  Not enough to go back and take English classes again, but enough to make me want to keep reading Kingsolver.  I have Animal Dreams<\/em> on my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153to read\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shelf\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6it was an assigned reading during grad school, but I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember actually reading it\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat seems like a bad sign.  I have also heard good things about The Bean Trees<\/em>, and have my eye out for a cheap used copy. Any Kingsolver or Kingsolver-esque recommendations? <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
