Orange Prize Long List
I've only read two of the books on this list, Case Histories and We Need to Talk About Kevin. I'd recommend the former to anyone, but not necessarily the latter. We Need to Talk was difficult to read, and if you're a mom who ever feels or has felt ambivalence about motherhood, this might keep you up at night. I can't believe it hasn't unleashed all kinds of hysteria.

I've only read Case Histories which I liked. But I have heard good things about Liars and Saints (doesn't Nick Hornby talk about it in Polysyllabic Spree?) and A Short of History of Tractors in Ukrainian. I didn't realize the Orange was just for women - that's sort of cool. I'll have to take the list to the library with me.
