Book nine was Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobel, recommended by Denise. I finished that a few days ago. Book ten was A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, recommended by Rahnee. I just finished it (5/24/12). Galileo's Daughter was quite good; A Fine Balance was a very difficult book to read. Tragedy piled upon tragedy.

The first book, recommended by both Bob Evans and Bob Carter (and, implicitly, John Piper and just about everybody else who's read it) is The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Started it on 1/4/12. Okay -- finished it on 1/4/12, too. Hated it -- it's SO depressing!!! BUT -- one book down!
Finished book two on 2/11/12. I read The History of Love: A Novel by Nicole Krauss. My sister-in-law, Carol, recommended it. It was fabulous. Sad and beautiful, but the beauty is bigger than the sadness.

Book six was one of the most horrible books I have ever read. Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell. I finished this depressing, awful, nasty, depressing book on 3/5/12.
