Here’s my list for the rest of 2008 (I might substitute if necessary):
- Kaddish for a Child Not Born by Kertesz (2002 laureate)
- Detective Story by Imre Kertesz (2002 laureate)
- Beloved by Toni Morrison (1993 laureate)
- A Mercy by Toni Morrison (1993 laureate)
- Kristin Lavransdatter 2: The Wife by Sigrid Undset (1928 laureate)
- Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak (1958 laureate)
- ? by Steinbeck (1962 laureate)
- The Fifth Child by Lessing (2007 laureate)
