I just re-read The Help this weekend. It is a fantastic book -- I'm glad you love it as well.
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down is one of the best books I've ever read. I'll be interested in your review of it.
The Help - I am still the only person I know who was underwhelmed. Oh well.
It look like a great month of reading. Chaim Potok is amazing. I've read The Chosen and its sequel (I've forgotten the title) -- but I haven't read My Name is Asher Lev yet.
