Clay's Ark is one of my favorites of hers, hands down. Wierdly, I don't remember much about race in there, but I've been half-planning to re-read her stuff near the end of this challenge, and see how much was in her books that I never saw. I expect there will be a lot.
I know nothing about The English Patient, but re non-Americans and non-Japanese caring about the American bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I've run into a bit of "We know that America is the most evil country, because America is the only country to ever use a nuclear bomb." I've heard it quite vociferously from Indians on my friends-list, and I've heard it at Speaker's Corner in London (the crowd very much agreed with him). I might have to give The English Patient a read.
Canada Reads: do many people read the Canada Reads book? My city has a similar program each January, but as near as I can tell, hardly anyone participates. (Which reminds me, I should find out what the new Everybody Reads book is, because it's about that time...)
