Not saying that is a bad thing. You are expanding my reading. :-) I’ve added so many books that take place in Africa or are about Africa to my TBR list and I think all the titles came from your blog.

I read and loved The Poisonwood Bible. It was before blog though. I am responding to about 90% of the comments but sometimes it takes me a while. And no, you don't drive me crazy! I get super excited whenever I see you've been by to visit. Maybe too excited. Shana - I'll look into The Darling. I've done tons of African reading this year. I agree on Half of a Yellow Sun. You can see my review here: http://blog.mawbooks.com/2008/07/19/half-of-a-yellow-sun-by-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie/ Heather - Sometimes we do need to slow down a bit. I'm a speed reader too, but I wish I could read even faster. Joy - True, true. Traci - No harm in passing! Trish – No shame on me! I read and loved The Poisonwood Bible. It was before blog though.

Probably will pass on this one. The book looks interesting, but I am not a slow and methodical reader. Probably will pass on this one.

Sometimes going into a non-fiction book requires that much attention, but that feels appropriate and acceptable. For me, it just doesn't seem to fit a novel.

I agree that this was a beautifully written book and one that needs to be read slowly and savored, analyzed, thought about. Another book about the African experience is The Darling. The main character actually moves to Liberia, but as an adult not a child. It is nuanced and subtle, too, but again, gorgeous writing. Trish, Half of a Yellow Sun sounds fantastic.
