I love her too, but I could never get into Poisonwood Bible enough to finish it. I'm not even sure I hit the 50-page mark before putting it down. It was a while ago, though, so I feel like I should give it another go before writing it off forever. Kelly, that's a great example.

I just read this (listened to it, actually) and was a bit disappointed after loving Jellicoe Road and Saving Francesca.
