The Current Stack

It's been book week around here lately. I just finished reading The Invention of Everything Else by Samantha Hunt. It was ok. In my list of all books I've ever read it comes below The Children's Book, a very long way below The Time Traveler's Wife, and far far above White Teeth.

It was interesting but not gripping. I didn't really care what happened in the end, and sometimes it was hard to follow - you'd read a conversation and then find out that one of the participants has been dead twenty years and it's all in the other person's head. It was a bit too pleased with being clever for my liking. Which makes it sounds awful and it wasn't at all. I did like the deatils of everyday life, the forays into the past and how the characters got to where they are. Those things gave it a bit of depth. So not great but not bad either. If you get a chance to read it and the blurb interests you, I'd say go for it - otherwise I wouldn't bother seeking it out.

Anyway, on to the main point of this post. This is my current stack of books to be read:

{Top to bottom: Night Train to Lisbon, The Piano Teacher, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Remember Me, A Most Wanted Man, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Her Fearful Symmetry.}
So my questions - which should I read next? Have you read any of them and what were your thoughts? Or do you have any recommendations to add to the stack?
