everydayxangels Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I had been reading some enlightening non-fiction, and then I picked up the Red Tent. I need some more really brilliant fiction. Not just mediocre, but mind blowing and a head rush. Here's some stuff I thought was of that degree: The Hours by Michael Cunningham The Red Tent by Anita Diament A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Run by Ann Patchett Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See And here's some other books I thought were fabulous, but not quite the brilliance of the above novels: Astrid & Veronika by Linda Olsson People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks Away by Amy Bloom Loving Frank by Nancy Horan Are there any other novels that you all think are par with the above ones?
