all-time favorite classic is the great gatsby. i love cynicism!



That's my favorite too! If you like the Great Gatsby, then you'd probably like 'Gatsby's Girl' by Caroline Preston. It's fiction,but based on Fitzgerald's life and the woman that supposedly inspired him to write Great Gatsby.

Other books I've enjoyed recently are 'Nights of Rain and Stars' by Maeve Binchy and 'The Carousel' by Richard Paul Evans.

an old favorite of mine is Anthem by Ayn Rand.....awesome book!!! it's actually one of her shorter ones (300 pages? versus her longer ones Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead at 1000 pages or so).

I loved Water for Elephants.

Am just about to start People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.

My reward to myself for when I get the thank you notes written will be a book spree...

I'm almost half way there!
