I didn&#8217;t do so well, but I <em>have</em> read some of them, and <em>tried</em> to read a few more (but bailed out). So, even if &#8220;every woman&#8221; should read them, the ones I bailed out on didn&#8217;t work for me. (Sorry.) But, I&#8217;ve also added some to my list of books to read, and placed holds on them at my library.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read <em>Wild </em>(loved it!), <em>The Orchardist </em>(it was OK), and <em>The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks </em>(very interesting and compelling). I won&#8217;t tell you which ones I tried to read but quit.</p>
<p>How did you do? Read any of these? Comments to share? And by the way, why isn&#8217;t <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Still-Alice-Lisa-Genova/dp/1501107739" target="_blank"><em>Still Alice</em></a> on this list?</p>
