Loved the book. Have you read "Kite Runner"? Riveting, could not put it down.

That is probably one of my all time favorite books. I read every night before I fall asleep....really helps me unwind from the day. I'm a graphic artist, and once I get the creative juices going, my mind won't stop...so reading is medicine to me.

Have you read any of the Janet Evanovich books? She's a scream! I also love Dan Brown's four books. I've read every one of both of these authors.

Others I like are Johnathan Kellerman and Sue Grafton.

I want to read "She Who Remembers", but never find it at the discount book store. I'm too lazy to go to the library, plus it takes me forever to read a whole book....I savor every word and get depressed when they are over. I'm such a book worm...I have a whole wall of books in my study. It's ridiculous!

Oooh, I loved Memoirs of a Geisha!

When I first started reading it, I couldn't decide if it was a biography or a novel because it was so well written from such a realistic, first-person point of view! It really seemed like she was telling her own life story, you know, almost like it was too detailed to be fiction.

Yeah, it was very good. I should probably see the movie, hm?

Memoirs of a Geisha is a great book! I read it quite a few years ago. I'm afraid to see the movie...don't want to be disappointed, as sometimes happens after reading the book!
My favorite book of all time is The Count of Monte Cristo. An oldy but a goody. Saw the movie and was sooooooooo disappointed. Same with Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Guess I should stick to the books!
