Hi Lyn: Guess I need to get busy on Harry Potter since so many have recommended the books. I'm sappy for Water for Elephants, but am currently reading Suite Francaise...Margaret ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8340486 Kris's review of One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel García Márquez

Hi Kris: Looks like you are getting into some pretty heavy reading. Must be the rainy weather over there...smile. Actually, I couldn't get into this book that much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I got a bit bogged down in it and finally decided I would rather read something else...This goodreads thing is a good idea though. Nice to share with friends, though I haven't figured out yet quite how to list my own personal favorites like you did. Or the photo, or anything for that matter beyond sending the invitation to a few people. I wish I were more computer literate. My personal favorite I read this month was "Water for Elephants." Guess I'm getting to that age where retaining my independence at all costs like the old guy in the story mean more to me...smile
My daughter Karen, and Jennette are coming to spend Thanksgiving with us...can hardly wait. Can you get in any skiing there? Take care, Love, Margaret ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8367374 Beth's review of Water for Elephants
by Sara Gruen

Hi Beth: I didn't think I would like this one, but I really identified with the elderly gentleman's fight to salvage a little dignity and independence in his old age....guess you have to be almost at that age to appreciate it fully...smile...Margaret ]]>
