Chaos Reading discussion

A while ago we did a themed group read, nominating our favourite books with numbers in the title. Just looking at the poll results, this stands out in my mind as one of the better lists we've come up with.

I've put the books that were nominated up on their own shelf here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

If you have any more to add to the shelf, please nominate them here.

I nominate:

Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women by Geraldine Brooks

"Almighty God created sexual desire in ten parts; then he gave nine parts to women and one part to men."
- Ali ibn Abu Taleb, husband of Muhammad's daughter Fatima and founder of the Shiite sect of Islam.

Following six years working as a foreign correspondent covering events in the Middle East for The Wall Street Journal, Brooks lays out for us her observations of the women of this region.

Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden

Such a debut! I enjoyed the fresh viewpoint of The Great War - a Cree sniper is wending his way home from the horror of Ypres and the Somme.

There's a lot of good books out there with numbers.

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome
One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw by Witold Rybczynski
The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers
Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot
The 13 Clocks by James Thurber
A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage
Galatea in 2-D by Aaron Allston
One for the Morning Glory by John Barnes
The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis
Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede
Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson

Well, since this is called NUMBERS, should I mention Numbers by Rachael Ward? It's really cool.
