Yay! Vacation reading!

I would like to nominate:

1- The 42nd Parallel, by John Dos Passos

2- In Between the Sheets, by Ian McEwan

Quick question: aside from Junot Diaz, are there any other authors in Bowie's list from Latin America / Caribbean? I took a quick look, but found nothing.

Thanks, Lidiana :-) I don't know... He was very much centred on Anglo-Saxon literature ;-)

Thanks Kristianne!
The Fire Next Time is our June reading. You can still nominate another book if you wish by the end of the day :-) (by midnight, your time)
