Ibsen's A Doll's House is a favorite, and Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go is an emotional twister.<br /><br />John Updike, Leon Uris, Thrity Umriger, Lisa Unger are good U's.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-36979688258168501102014-09-17T16:52:54.537-07:002014-09-17T16:52:54.537-07:00Oh, Washington Irving!
