I've read a few of your choice, Tommyknockers, The Poisonwood Bible, A Short History of Nearly Everything and enjoyed them all. Good luck

-515 pages
I shouldn't be surprised that my first tome of the year is a SK novel. He's my favorite. He'll always be my favorite. But this one was disappointing. It was a "ripped from the headlines" type of story and I felt it was incredibly underwhelming. I did love the ending however. But more could have been done with it.
I did enjoy The Overlook/ The Shining references!

2. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver- 546 pages
This book is the definition of a saga for sure. A Christian family sent to Africa via a mission trip and all the trials and tribulations along the way. The daughters were so different, and I loved that each chapter is a different point of view. This one takes time to get through it, but it was definitely worth it!!
