The Perpetual AW Book Chain
Now that the Great AW Song Chain is chugging along nicely, let's see how a Book Chain does.
Rules: Post a book and author that links, by title or author, to that posted by the previous poster. Example: The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck. Response #1: What's eating Gilbert Grape - Peter Hedges. Response #2: Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert. (ETA: Ooh! Double points for two links in the same response!) [etc.....] So, to get us started, I'll take today's top title from Powells: ... The Tiger's Wife - Tea Obreht
