I don't grasp why Miral by Rula Jebreal is not listed.
Hmm, looks like I've read four:The Red Tent
The Book of Trees
How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less
The Weight of the Sky
And I have yet to read the entire KJV cover to cover, but on the other hand, I remember reading Hurlbut's Story of the Bible multiple times as a kid - should I add that, or is that cheesy and/or liable to inundate the list with fifty million Bible-stories-for-children (and if so, is that bad?)
