‘Run, Don’t Walk’ Books

Via Paper Cuts a list of must reads from Junot Díaz, including Texaco: A Novel by Patrick Chamoiseau.

For my part I am currently reading the initial chapters of Ron Chernow’s Washington: A Life via the free sample from Kindle. Chernow is always good; I’ve got Washington up to age 20 and so far it moves well.

Am about to begin Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants: A Novel, which comes to me highly recommended, as does Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance. It was one of Oprah’s.

Oh, and in my backpack is Jon Krakauer’s Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman, updated.
