I'm reading The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb and it is fabulous.
It is hit or miss with Jodi Picoult. I liked Plain Truth, Perfect Match and My Sister's Keeper but couldn't finish The Pact and I heard The Tenth Circle finishes with some kind of riddle that you have solve to know the ending.
I just finished The Seamstress and it is incredible.
Hey Leah. You have great taste in books! Running with Scissors is awesome- Augusten Burroughs is a fantastic writer.
Emilee- I work in the court system and I was quietly reading Marley in the back of a courtroom when I hit a particularly poignant spot...tears running down my face. :) Classy! Of course, people always ask what you are reading and when they see Marley's happy face on the front, they just don't understand how it can be upsetting. It takes a dog owner/lover to fully appreciate Marley.
John Irving and Phillipa Gregory. I also love Wally Lamb (who has a new release coming out in November!)
Silver- I just saw your post from several months ago re: book clubs. I feel the same way. I just "joined" a book club at work and they picked an awful book- I got to page 50 and stopped.
Thanks Emilee. I just stumbled onto this website a few weeks ago. I don't know too many people in my day to day life who enjoy reading as much as I do so this is exciting.
There are actually three versions of Marley and Me.
The movie stars Jennifer Aniston who I think will be wonderful.
Marley and Me is what I call "my freezer book"(a reference to an episode of Friends). It made me so sad, I had to put it away because I didn't want the inevitable to happen. As a side note, I met John Grogan at a book signing a couple years ago and he is awesome. Definitely worth a second read.
