The Handmaid's Tale by Atwood would be a good one. </p> <p>What about something by Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Love in the Time of Cholera or One Hundred Years of Solitude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-suggestions-needed#post-2110951 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 21:56:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2110951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read anything by Jhumpa Lahiri? I recommend The Namesake! Or anything by Barbara Kingsolver? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-suggestions-needed#post-2110943 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 21:33:58 +0000 honeybear 2110943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Master and Margarita would probably be my first choice. (Written before your date, but published after.) Maybe something by Murakami or Atwood would work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-suggestions-needed#post-2110894 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:21:55 +0000 Mrs. J 2110894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Our America?

I read it in sociology and it was so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-suggestions-needed#post-2110881 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:08:28 +0000 Mrs. J 2110881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey all! I need your book suggestions! I teach Modern World Literature to seniors in HS, and I am looking for a new book. Must be published after 1965. I already have The Kite Runner, Life of Pi, Maus, and How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. I am looking to replace The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, which is too easy for them. </p> <p>Any thoughts? Thanks!!! </p>
