An interesting collection of books, don't agree re Dr. Zhivago, and I don't think gossip is necessarily a negative thing--you have to be able to compartmentalize it, like just about everything else in the culture. As for Tom Lake, which you mention here, it knocked my socks off: I think it may be Kingsolver's best to date, right up there with Lacunae.
