... Times by Linda Grant Property by Valerie Martin The Road Home by Rose Tremain Digging to America by Anne Tyler The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith Paradise by Toni Morrison The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan Home by Marilynne Robinsonn

... recommended by a friend and enjoyed it. I'm now reading On Beauty by Zadie Smith as I liked both White Teeth and The Autograph Man. Doesn't seem like much, does it? Well, one of the reasons I quit school was because I was having so much trouble sleeping (due to stress and general ...

... TWO books from the charity shop - White Teeth by Zadie Smith (which strangely I've never much fancied, despite enjoying The Autograph Man) and a rather lovely replacement copy of I Capture the Castle. I get a nice new book, the old copy goes into our shop to be sold on, we're all winners.. ...

judylou, if you want some Orange duds, I'd recommend trying The Autograph Man or The Little Friend. The Autograph Man probably wasn't all that bad, but I did find it very disappointing following White Teeth. And The Little Friend was just frustrating - all atmosphere, nothing ...

... Half a Yellow Sun, The Idea of Perfection, Brick Lane, The Vintner's Luck... Although it's not perfect: The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith was very disappointing after White Teeth, and I loathed The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. But you can't have everything...

... Day The Wilderness Of those that I've read that I wouldn't particularly recommend: The Inheritance of Loss The Autograph Man Half a Yellow Sun On Beauty Case Histories The Great Fire A Child's Book of Crime The Weight of Water The Poisonwood Bible

... Abbey, the second of two Jane Austen books on my list and am currently on On Beauty. I am enjoying this much more than The Autograph Man, which I read a few years back. The story really grabs you.

... ok. Alternative history circa WW I coupled w/ fantasy. Spent 30 minutes looking for it last night before switching off to the autograph man.

... Younger wife gets bored with inevitable sequelae. Surpisingly moving, thanks LolaWalser for pointing this book out. 4.The autograph man - Jewish blues in London and NYC. Life based on the detritus of fame is 3rd hand, at best, as we follow the quests of a dealer in autographs. But the ...

... Earth for the Women Writer's category. I love Anne Rivers Siddons, and she's not disappointing me with this one! The Man by Irving Wallacefor the Politics category. Found this on my TBR pile and it seemed appropriate to read it now.

... at The Corrections I'd like to take a look at some more Zadie Smith - I liked White Teeth very much. I think I have The Autograph Man buried somewhere... There's a bunch of books that I picked up and look promising as a result of lurking in LT's Chapel of the Abyss group (and it's ...

Before doing the Grocery Shopping, i stopped in at our local Discount Emporium (!) and came away with: The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian The Alchemist's Daughter by Katharine McMahon ......potential Christmas gifts all got my copy of Lush Life ...

... that memorable, but I definitely did enjoy The Prize—a drama about the folks winning the Nobel Prizes one year. The Man was also OK (bad touchstone). Of Puzo, I've only read The Godfather and The Dark Arena. Liked the former. Didn't like the latter.

Cain's work is a wonder of few words containing so much! However, I, too, didn't care for On Beauty, although I've read Autograph Man and enjoyed it much more. Some interesting reads, though! Congrats.

... I read this summer. There was something about the ending of On Beauty that didn't set quite right with me. I haven't read Autograph Man yet. Alias Grace was a little disappointing to me also, too flowery, whereas I Liked both The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin. Good luck ...

... Hunter within the last 18 months or so. My favorite was McCullers book. There was such soul in it. I have read Autograph Man by Smith fairly recenlty also and have wondered about On Beauty. What did you think? I have been looking for a used copy of The Postman Always Rings Twi ...

How about Zadie Smith? The Autograph Man maybe?

... but not great art. The lovely Bones Amazing attempt to speak in the voice of the dead without being too creepy. Autograph Man Not up to the level of White Teeth but she is young and may outdo it yet.

... I can't believe it didn't even make the short list. I've also read The Lovely Bones (a little too "pop" for my taste); The Autograph Man (a disappointment after reading White Teeth); and Unless and The Little Friend, which were interesting but neither of which I would consider short-li ...

... Sebold The Lovely Bones Carol Shields Unless - shortlist Zadie Smith The Autograph Man - shortlist Donna Tartt The Little Friend - shortlist Louise Welsh The Cutting Room

... to listen to On Beauty by Zadie Smith, unabridged, and am loving it. I had not cared for either White Teeth or Autograph Man that much, but this one is for some reason really resonating with me. I am very much aware of E.M. Forster nodding approvingly as On Beauty unfolds.

I am listening to On Beauty on audio, unabridged, and am loving it. I had not cared for either White Teeth or Autograph Man that much, but this one is for some reason really resonating with me. I am very much aware of E.M. Forster nodding approvingly as On Beauty unfolds.

The autograph man by Zadie Smith

I agree with you about The Autograph Man. I put it down and back up again several times before I was able to finish. I have had White Teeth in my mind for a while so, you are the "suggester" of the first book in that category! White Teeth it is! I have been reading A.M. Homes lately ...

... read any of your other authors with the exception of Augusten Burroughs and Zadie Smith. I really didn't like Smith's The Autograph Man but loved White Teeth. Have you read that?

What rebeccanyc said. I thought White Teeth, on the other hand, was a wonderful book. And the one in the middle, The Autograph Man was utter, utter crap - Lady Z getting ahead of herself, so to speak.

... had time to read quite a bit! I expect to also read (or at least start...) The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith this week. Would love to hear your experiences with any of these books! (Various touchstones are not loading.)

... while (fines at the Library don't count)... but found 'Tis for on the $1 cart and then got Shakespeare: The Biography, The Autograph Man, and Passarola Rising* -- less than $20 total! -- through the "Daedalus Books" catalog... *chosen because the cover looked cool...

I recently finished the memory keeper's daughter which I found quite disappointing.. Just started the autograph man, so far so good!

The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith

I actually went out and met Zadie Smith at a book signing. I had really enjoyed White Teeth and I had The Autograph Man on my TBR list. I heard great things about it and I started it with great ferver I loved the writing style, but the story just went nowhere! I got just past the halfway ...

Not a current book, but speaking of lines from books by Zadie Smith, how about this one with which I identified from The Autograph Man? “The edges of skates are very thin and very sharp, he felt, the opposite of human feet. It takes an optimistic man to put them on. Skating is not to be ...
