Hey Kim,
I've read She's Come Undone and Life of Pi. Undone is also big. It's good though. I think you'd enjoy Life of Pi. I also read Bel Canto. I think of all of them, you'd like Pi. In case it comes up, I just finished a book for book club that I think you'd really like - The Time Travelers Wife. If that comes up in your swap - take it.
Love you,
Marnie

Hey Kim -

I've read the Blind Assasin, She's Come Undone, Life of Pi, and Bel Canto, Correlli's Mandolin, and the Sheltering Sky (which is weird because I haven't read a book in awhile now!). Blind Assasin was ok, but you have better choices. I personally loved Sheltering Sky (though others I have spoken to say parts are slow and it definitely takes longer to get into), Life of Pi makes for a fascinating conversation with anyone else who has read it and good thought provoker (easy read too), loved Correlli's Mandolin (minus the ending), and I actually enjoyed Bel Canto more too (easy to get caught up in it). Been wanting to read The Secret Life of Bees, but haven't yet - so if you do - let me know what you think. Oh yeah - She's come Undone is another Oprah typical book - another tragic female figure - I didn't like it (but was one of few). Hope that helps.

Miss you,

Laura

Hi Kim, Finally something I can help with although since a week has passed - I'm sure you've made up your mind. Definitely Life of Pi. Great book and if you don't have the chance to swap for a new one, it makes a good 2nd read. Bel Canto is great too.
Enjoy! Robin
