That is so good to hear because I am having a really hard time starting Atonement. I am about 50 pages in, so I will stick it out!

I just finished Water for Elephants and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Atonement is the next in my pile. After that, I am cleaned out of new books and looking for suggestions!

It is too hard to pick just one. I think books just speak to us in different ways when we read them. Something could be a favorite at that time and not mean so much if we were to read it five years later or had read it five years earlier. What we bring to the books when we read them is half of it...
