I've spent several months working through her biography of Wharton. I feel as if I know everything there is to know about her already but I'm only 250 pages into this 800 page book. Virginia Woolf is longer? Yikes! I’m going to make an educated guess that #9 is by Hermione Lee. I’ve spent several months working through her biography of Wharton.

Too bad I can't figure out any of the remaining lines :) I may have to steal this and try to post my own. Regarding Snow Flower, I liked the book for the most part although there were some instances were I felt it was a bit contrived. And, I nitpicked the book more because it was such a popular title.

Sounds like a good description of those watching the guillotine. I’m guessing that #4 is The Scarlet Pimpernel. Sounds like a good description of those watching the guillotine.

I have the same hesitation you do, and I usually wait until the hype frenzy dies down before I will pick up a book. <i>Snow Flower</i> is patiently waiting on my bookshelf right now.
