I can't wait to read The Poisonwood Bible, because since I liked Flight Behavior (though I didn't love it), I am confident that this one will be even better.

I am a little envious ;-) I've been itching to read A Prayer for Owen Meany as well, it's been getting a lot of hype lately even though it's an older book. The Kite Runner is fantastic, as is The Poisonwood Bible. I really want to read North and South one of these days.

I also thought The Poisonwood Bible was good. I wasn't a fan of Death Comes to Pemberley, but I hope you have a better experience than I did.<br /><br />Enjoy all your new books!

I preferred A Thousand Splendid Suns to The Kite Runner but both are excellent and very tear-jerky.
