I liked Gilead just ok, but my wife LOVED it. I don't think she's read Home yet. Let us know how you like it. @ Lola – I’ve read Gilead and I went and saw Marilynne Robinson do a reading of Home a couple years ago. I liked Gilead just ok, but my wife LOVED it.

Coincidentally enough, I just read "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" for my book group. You're certainly right about the dogs - they're almost like a Greek chorus in the book. The only other ones I've read are "Outliers" and "East of Eden." I read "The Vampire LeStat" instead of "Interview" and decided I didn't care so much for the vampire genre. I read "Twilight" last month, and sure enough, I still don't care for that genre. I agree with your assessment of "East of Eden" - certainly one of Steinbeck's best. My book group is now reading Marilynne Robinson's "Home," and we read "Gilead" last year. Have you read either of those, by any chance? Nice assortment (that goes for your 2008 list, too).
