I am just starting my sisters keeper by Jodi Picoult will let you all know how I like it when I finish it . I want to see the movie but dont know about cameron diaz being in the mother role . I saw that going to someone else like maybe angelina jolie or someone like that .
I read the book reviews on Amazon until I found the spoiler for it so I would know how it turns out. Yes I am the annoying person who flips to the end of a book sometimes. I don't like surprises.
Trying to read Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. I think most of his books are very good to excellent, but I'm on page 30 and still can't get into this one.
wow that sounds like a book leading to reincarnation or some such thing . wow but sounds like a good one let us know what you think of it .
There's quite a bit of sex in it (Sleep No More by Greg Iles so nobody has to go back and search) but if you're not offended by that, and you like thrillers, then I think you'd like this book.

Me, too. I don't care if other people find it annoying; I HAVE TO KNOW.
Sometimes after I read the end, I flip through and read portions of the middle.
Well, I decided to tackle "The Poisonwood Bible." It's taken me a long time to start this book. I just didn't care for the premise because proselytizing bothers me big time.
Now, however, I don't care one bit where the storyline goes. The author writes so beautifully that I just gobble up the words and want more, more, more. It's not a matter of understanding the words. It's more of feeling the words. I just shudder with the glory of the verbiage.
Man, this woman can write! Hopefully I will not be struck by lightning, but.......she reminds me of Proust. "Swan's Way." That is the highest compliment I can give to a writer.
I'm currently reading "No Easy Answers: The Truth Behind Death At Columbine" by Brooks Brown and Rob Merritt. It's very intense and gripping. I started reading it yesterday and couldn't put it down (I only have one chapter left - I would have finished it but my husband got ill last night and I had to tend to him).
Brooks Brown is the guy who was friends with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, particularly Dylan Klebold...and he was the guy who ran into Eric outside the school just before the massacre where famously Eric told him, "Brooks, I like you now. Get out of here. Go home." Brooks Brown's perspective is enlightening as to what really happened at Columbine, from growing up with Dylan and seeing his friend turn into someone else, to the bullying that went on at the school, to being friends with Eric at first and then suddenly finding himself and his family the target of Eric's death threats, to making peace with Eric senior year only to find out his friends were putting on an act - they had been planning the massacre for over a year. After the shootings there was a massive cover-up of both the police actions and resulting response (some of it will blow your mind) and the school atmosphere itself. The book goes into great detail as to what really happened. The book is not only a unique perspective on the massacre and what led up to it, but what happened after.
