Spoilers have been floating around the Internet, so I already kind of know what's going to happen. That doesn't make it any less heartbreaking, though. :)Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00979296421309409564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390553442147045806.post-86928682822800811592011-03-06T18:16:53.598-07:002011-03-06T18:16:53.598-07:00I tried to start Atonement while I was backpacking...I tried to start Atonement while I was backpacking but ended up putting it aside for other books.

I read Gibson's short stories last year and have been wanting to read his novels ever since. Neuromancer is first, though. Have heard good things about it! <br /><br />Have a great week :)Toni Wihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314745513137417924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390553442147045806.post-45118754006661762872011-03-06T14:57:54.132-07:002011-03-06T14:57:54.132-07:00Some great choices you have there.

And I'm still on the lookout for a Kingsolver book after your recommendations - thank you!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062625442820022669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390553442147045806.post-19449765829158242182011-03-06T12:44:18.707-07:002011-03-06T12:44:18.707-07:00I have heard of each of these but have only read A...I have heard of each of these but have only read Atonement.
