First They Killed My Father, by Loung Ung.   I give this 4 out of 5 stars. 
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, by Anne Fadiman.  Totally 5 out of 5 stars.  Engrossing and emotional. 
The Man in My Basement, Walter Mosely.  2 out of 5 stars. 
When I was Puerto Rican, Esmerelda Santiago.  3 out of 5 stars. 
Her Fearful Symmetry, Audrey Nieffeneger.  5 out of 5. It's possible I like this one even better than the Time Traveller's Wife.  Audrey may be making it onto my favorite authors list, alongside Margaret Atwood, Barbara Kingsolver, and John Irving. 
Up next:
