Looking for a good read?

A good friend asked me for a few book titles to read while I was gone...so here are some of my favorites...many relate to Latin America or why I desire to do such a thing as Peace Corps:
Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In the Time of Butterflies, Julia Alvarez
Mountains Beyond Mountains, Tracy Kidder
The World Is Flat, Thomas Freidman
Sex Lives of Cannibals, J Maartan Troost
Dark Star Safari, Paul Theroux
A Small Place, Jamaica Kincaid
The Good Body, Eve Ensler
Born to Buy by Juliet Schor or Consuming Kids by Susan Linn
The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison
