Away by Amy Bloom was very good.

American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld is pretty good, too.

thanks! I loved Prep and keep forgetting to look Sittenfeld up to see what her new books are..

Are you a David Sedaris fan? If so, his latest "When You Are Engulfed in Flames" is funny (and also so very wrong in several parts...as only Sedaris can get away with).

I'm liking Into the Wild (true story about young guy who wandered into the Alaskan wilderness).

Have you done the obligatory Eat, Pray, Love? I think you'd like it as a yoga person.

If you look in my book review tag, you'll see book reviews from the last year. I thoroughly enjoyed Jhumpa Lahiri books this year. Also Three Cups of Tea (though its serious/non-fiction).
