The pile
I'm currently reading Kaaterskill Falls by Allegra Goodman. I enjoyed The Cookbook Collector so much that I decided to delve into her previous works. I've tried Intuition several times (always from the library) and I just can't get into it. This time I got as far as the lab mice they are using to study tumors in vivo. I just can't read that stuff.
Coincidentally, Allegra Goodman is reading at a park near me on July 29th. I am thinking about going, though honestly, it is stinking hot here and sometimes it is better to be indoors with the A/C and fan.
I got Election from the library because I've read everything else by Tom Perrotta, but he doesn't seem to want to write anything new. I delayed reading this one because I've already seen the movie.
Linger is the sequel to Shiver, which I liked...kind of a benign rip-off of Twilight, starring werewolves. Also with better writing.
Jennifer Weiner is an old favorite. I met her at a bookstore reading years ago and took a picture of us with a crappy cell phone camera. I still have it somewhere.

I just started the Cookbook Collector. Couldn't get into it at first, but will keep going because you like it so much.
not a huge Perrotta fan.
also have the new Weiner on my list. right now am finishing up The Passage.
I read a fair amount of Kaaterskill Falls but it didn't have the same magic as Cookbook Collector for me. Sigh. I guess I felt like it was more about the community than the individual characters? Maybe I should have hung in there.
