You had a great reading week! :)
I love Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe! Even I didn't like Possession by A. S. Byatt, like others seem to.
Great week and upcoming one you have. Devotion of Suspect X sounds amazing, added to Wishlist.
My post.

I adore War and Peace, Gideon's Sword was good, and The Other Life was okay. Enjoy your week, you have excellent books selected. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/02/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-28.html
Whew- that's what I say going through your list. :-) Lots of varied reading. I'm watching for your review of Withers. I have been reading some dystopia lately so that interests me.
Have a great week.
