Pillars of the Earth was a great tale as was its partner..LONG Novel
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle should not be missed
I thought my fav book was A Prayer for Owen Meany..really
But then I read The Ice People..(you won't find that easily not an e book)
The greatest book was Dune (excepting the Bible) I don't like SciFi..but this was not a scifi..it was about ecology and tribal customs and true love, and not so true love, and powerful POWERFUL women and politics and religion... so what if it wasnt always on earth...
I liked the Glass Castle very much..lessons learned can be arrested into success..Imread the authors second book..good too
A Land Remembered..old...but I read it twice..
And the Seven Daughters of Eve since I spit in a tube..I figured Imneeded to read it..it was very interesting and educational

Water For Elephants was a good one but not as good as The Whistlestop Cafe
"It" was OK..but the Shining was better ..I even liked Thinner and hated Carrie

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks made me grateful and a bit sad ..more grateful than sad
Susanna Kearsey books -- always a good get away from the dishes ..really butnyiunshouldmstart with the first EVEN tho not tied together

I just finished the Kingsfountain series waiting on the last two..not super sophisticated..but I do like a good tale of magic and the Kings Court
I just love witches and such..
Interview with a vampire was good ..as were the Lasher Books... but rIces book on Jesus early life and adventures was better...fiction of course
Sagan twisted my mind ..black holes...hard to grasp...but the biography was good
The Danish Girl held my interest and then didn't
Room was.....interesting
The Sisters--the saga of the Mitford Girls was too ...if you like a lot of history about the time period and society and politics
The Deep Part of the Ocean..scared me on many levels
And of course who could resist "Shanna" and not fall in love with her Rourke? Sigh...he was some guy....

A Wild Ride up the Cupboards..interesting... but then marriages usually are
I did NOT like the Hurricane
And the Johnson and Johnson Saga...meh....
I have come across a good toothpast box every now and again....
The new book about John Kennedy Jr. At least it was not the same ole same ole kennedy info ..I didnt feel like I wasted my money .I saw Jackie in a new way. And I read another..Jackie, Ethel and.......well I forget...
I plowed through The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry..and I dont know if I liked it... I am not sure..but it taught me some things about life and connecting with wants and not needs

Bacardi and the long fight for Cuba sounded so interesting..but meh...
Drinking ..a Love Story was to help me understand a loved one..and it did
The Poisonwood Bible was a good read..
I could go on and on and on..but I figure why torture..book titles torture me because I won't live long enough to read THAT REALLY GREAT ONE that is just round the corner..just a page turn away...maybe the author is not born yet
