    I'm all for independent book reviewers. I don't think we detract from professional book reviewers workload, though. I review books at http://nextstopgraduateschool.blogspot.com. Do you have a blog/website where you post book reviews?

    I just finished Evening by Susan Minot, and will post my review there. In a nutshell I would read it again. It inspired me to write poetry, and she wrote about someone dying in a way that I haven't read before.

    just finished rant by chuck palahnuik

    it kicks ass. go read. i would get into an in depth discussion but dont want to ruin it for those who havent read it yet.

    in the middle of small island by andrea levy, its really good, but something about her writing style gets a bit tired sometimes. the subject matter is fascinating though, windrush in 1948.

    will read a thousand splendid suns next..
