Oh. My. Gosh! I just finished The Doctor's Wife and I must say... that book ROCKED!!! Started out sooooo sloooooooow, but then I found myself unable to put it down!!! Terrific book! Highly recommend! Suspenseful and thrilling!!! And if Hollywood wants to make a movie of it (and hopefully not ruin it) contact me... I got the perfect casting for it in my head!
With that said... I'm now reading "Riding Lessons" by Sara Gruen, the author of the great book "Water For Elephants".

Which one? The one by Elizabeth Brundage or the one by Sawako Ariyoshi and Wakako Hironaka or the one by Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Lyn Pykett or the one by Brian Moore or the one by John Glatt or the one by Cheryl St. John?
Wow - I noticed this thread started back in 2006. I just finished "A Movable Feast" by Ernest Hemingway. I had read alot "about" Hemingway but nothing by him. Now I want to read another.
a farewell to arms and for whom the bell tolls are two of my favourites by him
Now here's a book I'll read again! I identify strongly with these people who never forget or forgive, take their grudges to their graves.
She never forgave her mother for favoring her sister Florence. Even when she became a millionaire and her mother and sister were on welfare, she would never give them a dime. When her mother applied for welfare, they laughed in her face: Your daughter is a millionaire! Her mother would plead with her just to buy her a tiny one bedroom house for her and put it in Susan's name. Susan: But then, I couldn't collect rent on it! I was the victim of favoritism in my family, and to this day, I still haven't forgiven my sister, even though it wasn't her fault.
Very, very tight with her money, heavy drinker and smoker. Especially enjoyed the stories of her getting blasted drunk in Fort Lauderdale where she had a house on a canal with a boat. Drunk, she'd get on the boat and race through the canals at night like a race car driver, and the police condoning her behavior because they were thrilled to have a super star living in their community back then.
Great, great actress. Now, I'm going to have to get ahold of I Want To Live which she won an academy award for.
I'm also into Astrology and do a chart on the person before I read it. Makes it more fun. Moon in Scorpio. Ooh-ooh-ooh! Cold as ice, cross their paths even once, and consider yourself dead-dead-dead!!!
The author of the book is Robert Laguardia & Gene Arceri
