This is so much fun. I love to see what everyone is reading and recommending. I made some suggestions on Julie B's page for part three of this week's assignment.
For John Green's An Abundance of Katherines, I suggested A.S. King's Ask the Passengers or Please Ignore Vera Dietz. Both John Green and A.S. King write snappy, witty teen dialog and cover some pretty intense emotional situations with the right amount of humor to balance everything out.
Based on her annotation of Charms for the Easy Life by Kaye Gibbons, I suggested another Southern, character-driven novel: Fair and Tender Ladies by Lee Smith. I have not read either (I used Library Thing and Goodreads for that one), but I plan to!

Fair and Tender Ladies is one of my favorite books of all time! Read it!
Also, I thought Ask the Passengers was great also. Love A.S. King!
