A Little Life. Breaks my heart and I love it.

Geez how am I going to get through all these books!?

They all sound amazing. I had a hard time deciding which ones to purchase first.

One of the PP's asked if I had read Phantom Tollbooth yet. I have not but will probably end up reading at the same time DS does.

The books I ordered are due to arrive today

PPs should form a book club. We all seem to love the same stuff.

I have several books I have ready many times over and enjoy them as much the 2nd and 3rd time. They are:

Middlesex
Poisonwood Bible
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

The last one is by Laura Hillenbrand and is flat out amazing. Couldn't bear to go see the movie version because I didn't want to ruin it.

Brothers K and Glass Castle!

Will do a little book review afterwards

Same here and I'm not particularly religious.



Yeah, I think that is why you see this one in hotels.....it is universal I suppose!


Huh? Yeah, for Christians...

Though I'd pick the Mahabharata and still have the Bhagavad Gita within.
