Year Novel
2008 The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz (Riverhead Books)
1992 A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley (Alfred A. Knopf)
Read 2001 and several times since then. This is one of my absolute favorite books. It is the story of Shakespeare's King Lear set on a farm in Iowa.

Audrey,
Interesting to see the lists and what you have read. I have read Cane River (Oprah's list). I would be happy to pass it on to you but I'm not sure I still have it. You've inspired me to read more this year, though. I do keep a list of books I've read through the year in my diary.

Invaluable list. This is just so exciting! I just picked up The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz this weekend on the recommendation of my sister. Of course, I got several others so I'm not sure when I'll actually turn the first page on it, but soon!
