That's an awesome idea! I wish some of my FDs had such a reference point. Don't give up on him though! His books have really grown on me, and I'm always surprised at how much I enjoy his scandalous scenes that he creates after the initial confusion and grasping the characters and settings. They truly are from another world! But yeah, I can understand how daunting they all are.


Are you kidding me?? If I had know Johnny Depp was doing the audio, I would have bought that instead of the book. I'll bet it's awesome!! Jealous!!

Kerry, I had to laugh when I read your message! When I read the blurb, I did not realize it was part of a series! Not knowing the previous stories did not hamper my enjoyment of this one though. I like this book pretty much though the beginning was a bit slow. I will look out for the first three of the series ... :)

I'm also reading OBSERVER'S BOOK OF WILD ANIMALS OF THE BRITISH ISLES by W J STOKOE (EDITOR), which a friend of mine gave me on the weekend (he knows of my love for old books).


This is on my list for this year.

Island of the Blue Dolphins and If I Stay

I thought The Help was a great read - one of my favourites of 2010!

I must be the only person here not to have read it yet!! :(

Oh Susan, you've missed a treat!!


Island of the Blue Dolphins and If I Stay"
I loved Island of the Blue Dolphins when I was young.....I might have to reread that in the near future!


I definitely want to hear what you think of TILOHenrietta Lacks...



Oh good...I plan to read this one soon!



Island of the Blue Dolphins and [book:If I..."
I probably would have loved it more if I had read it when I was younger.

I've heard good things about Alone"
Adele, I hope thats a good sign and I enjoy reading it
Amanda

One of my favorites...hope you get through and enjoy it....it's not for everyone.


I like it thus far it's just so BIG and also I am back in school and working and all that other fun stuff so it is hard to read quickly ;-)

I read Cutting for Stone last year, and you're right it's definitely not a fast read and takes some getting used to, but it's all worth it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
