I've heard good things about Bone. The others I know very little or nothing about.
Backlash is an excellent and important book, sadly still quite timely too-if you haven't read it, avaland, you should!
My younger niece has been assigned The Bean Trees ... ... familiar but just couldn't place why it was so. Duh! I typed it in here this morning!
Of course, this reminds me that Backlash is waiting TBR still, taking up a hefty chunk of shelf in the meanwhile...oh wait, I'm thinking of Stiffed...
I've read Bell Jar, Beloved, Bluest Eye, the Bloo ... I did a little better than Rebecca and read Backlash, The Bean Trees, The Bell Jar, Beloved, The Bluest Eye, Bone, Bonjour Tristesse, and Brown Girl, Brownstones. If the word used in the title were 'important' or 'influential', I would be more in agreement with the choices. i ... Well, I do better for the B's! I've read Backlash, The Bell Jar, Beloved, The Bluest Eye, and Bonjour Tristesse, none of them recently though. Here are the B's:

Currently stalled are:
How Language Works, Backlash, The Making of Victorian Values : Decency and Dissent in Britain : 1789-1837 (which is taking forever to load the touchstone...) Still working on my re-read of The Stranger by Albert Camus. Puttering around with Backlash by Susan Faludi still but having trouble getting into it. Just started Food Politics : How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health by Marion Nestle. ... from Simone de Beauvoir and Shulamith Firestone in the Nicholson reader.
(As a sidenote, I'm currently reading Backlash by Susan Faludi, and it is spectacular. I cannot recommend it enough for an understanding of what has been going on with feminism for the last twenty years. It ... All my books are making me cranky right now. I am reading The Plot Against America, which deals with anti-Semitism, Backlash, which deals with feminist issues, and Food Politics : How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health, which is pretty self-explanatory. I need to find a nice ... >5, Augh, don't EVEN get me started. I am reading Susan Faludi's Backlash right now (I know, I'm a little late with that one, but it was re-released in 2006) and it is just full of examples of Phyllis Schlafly-types who use their position as powerful women in the public sphere to advocate ... ... musings on the emotional world of cats.
My main non-fiction for this month is probably going to be some combination of Backlash and Food Politics. I am having a lot of difficulty reading one book exclusively right now.

I don't know if they've been mentioned elsewhere, but Backlash and Bitch: In praise of difficult women are both fantastic reads. Faludi is a little more dense than Wurtzel, but both are excellent reads. ... to it every week or so.
Next in the queue it's a choice between Mo Hayder's Pig Island and Michael Adams' American Backlash -- though I also have Robert McKee's Story and Delillo's Underworld on the bedside table part complete.
