Bonnie, it's definitely okay to credit me for eight of those books. I've purchased but haven't yet read The Blue Notebook ; I think I first heard about it from Cariola. I haven't read Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures yet, either.

I've been foundering since I finished The Blue Notebook more than 2 weeks ago. I'm drawn to deep and difficult books ... but my tolerance for explicit violence and sex is low, and those were combined in horrific ways in that novel.
So, I finally sought my go-to source for positivity: Martha Ste ...
The Blue Notebook by James A. Levine tells the story of Batuk, who was sold into prostitution at the age of nine. Batuk learned to write during a brief hospital stay; she keeps a record of her life.
I kept reading to find whether Bartuk's awful life improved and because the author's heart is ...
I just finished The Blue Notebook and have started Censoring an Iranian Love Story. I'm very excited about this one, it sounds fascinating and I really haven't heard much about it.
... the writing and structure was sometimes clumsy and more like journalism than an emotional/insightful memoir.

Thanks.
Just catching up on your thread. I love your review of The Blue Notebook .
... follow quite a few 75-ers too. I'm sure I've read some of your reviews (e.g., Little Bee), so I'm really puzzled. Anyway, The Blue Notebook and North and South were already on my list, but i just added A Reliable Wife as well. Thanks!
OK. I have just ordered a copy of The Blue Notebook and A Reliable Wife from the library, not to mention having to buy a new notebook for tbr's. Will I ever get to read any of my own books?????
... Unaccustomed earth fan club. It was also a favorite of mine last year. The Namesake is great too.
I think I'll try The Blue Notebook . Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
... Unaccustomed Earth as Lahiri's first collection of short stories has been one of my favorites. And I will definitely buy The Blue Notebook , knowing that the proceeds will go toward helping the children, the CHILDREN (I'm not shouting; I'm wailing!) who have to live these kinds of lives. Thank ...
Book No. 32 : The Blue Notebook by Dr. James Levine. This is an Advanced Reader's Copy that was difficult to read because of the horrifying subject matter. Dr. Levine (A Mayo Clinic physician) writes this first novel in the voice of a 15-year-old prostitute in India. He was prompted by ...

When I sit down to read I'm having a hard time deciding what to pick up.

clamairy in The Green Dragon : May Reads 2009 (May 6, 2009, 7:30am)
Last night I finished my latest ER book, The Blue Notebook . I will read more by this author if he keeps moonlighting from his day job at the Mayo Clinic.
I didn't see any discussions open for The Blue Notebook , so I thought I'd start one. I started reading it last night and it's pretty intense so far. Very well-written, I think. Anyone else have thoughts?
Now I am in India because of my latest ER book, The Blue Notebook .
