Sam, I loved The Poe Shadow, but then I like all of Matthew Pearl's books. I think the last one, The Last Dickens A Novel, is my favorite.

I started
The Last Dickens A Novel tonight!

I read this when I was in high school and fell in love with it. I have also watched the movie many times. I too believe that since it was written from Scout's eyes, that the view in the book is how she saw the world.

The book is so true to what the south was in those times. I live in Alabama, and to this day, there are still people that I see that live in the "old south ideals".

There is a town (that the book was based on) here that does a skit re-enactment every year of the courthouse scene in the book/movie. It is an amazing thing to watch.

I am going through this very thing right now. I have tons of books that I own and have not read.... everyone I pick up, I set right back down.... just not able to get into any of them! It drives me insane!

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Ok! Adding this to my TBR list!

I just started The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. The reason is simple... I have wanted to read it for awhile.... so I saw it last week and bought it.
