Hmm... No, I don't think I know her? Is she nice?
I've never heard of Stones in the River, but I've heard Kite Runner is good! Here's a list of the books I had to read over the summers: Alas Babylon, Lord of the Flies, Huck Finn, The Chosen, All Quiet on the Western Front, Poisonwood Bible (my personal favorite), Joy Luck Club, Are You Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
You don't even wanna know how many I read during the school year! :bleh: I love detail as well; I try to insert as much as I can into my writing without it looking like stream of conciousness
