Another great author - Jane Hamilton. She wrote 'map of the world,' 'book of ruth' and also this other book about a girl who thinks she is in the civil war and what it does to her family. SOOO funny and excellent!

Hmm. I looove to read. Haven't in a while, really got to get something to read!
I love, love, love To Kill A Mockingbird. I feel that it has such awesome lessons in it.
I also loved The 5 People You Meet in Heaven, Lovely Bones ...
More than fave books I have fave authors. Loved James patterson but am getting a little sick of the pattern .. kinda like Mary Higgins Clark :) I love Patricia Gaffney, Anna Quindlen. Other books - Anita Shreve's The pilot's wife, SOOO good, Chris Bohjalian's Midwives also excellent... and I really loved wally lamb's I Know This Much Is True.
I have Secret Life of Bees at home and also something by Jody Piccoult I have heard is excellent .. can't remember the name .. something about sisters???
my sister's keeper. great book.

Maybe I will get Lucky after I read My Sister's Keeper. LOVED the lonely bones although it was hard to read at points.

She's Come Undone Wally Lamb
Running with Scissors Augusten Burroughs
Those are two that I distinctly remember not being able to put down.
I loved Running with Scissors, but the movie did not do it justice!
Evan Rachel Wood did not do her character justice at all for being a crazy, angst ridden teen!
i know! i was so disappointed when i saw the movie. Although i did like Annette Benning in it

Catch 22, by Far....
I also really like biographies and autobiographies and just book people write about their experiences...
I really like Jim Nortons Happy Endiings
