2) The Planets - Dava Sobel
Yes, for sure add it to your list. So far it's making me really really REALLY want to go to Italy. I'm wondering if the India/Indonesia sections will have the same effect on me.

The Hotel New Hampshire soured me on John Irving. Maybe I need to try some others, but I couldn't finish this one because it upset me that so many people kept getting killed off. And I did like it up to a certain point. "Overkill" in the truest sense of the word.

I haven't read that one- maybe I shouldn't! That would upset me too.

I highly recommend A Prayer for Owen Meany, though. Excellent book. A Widow For a Year was a bit odd, but also well written and interesting.

A Prayer for Owen Meany is one of my all time favorites. It's a very entertaining read. I recommend it.

Well, I just finished The Ghost and it was trueky a great book. I would reccommend it to anyone. We should start a book club so we can discuss the books we have read.

Anywho, I may start reading Crossings by DS next.

A book club is when everyone in it reads the same book and then discusses it. Somehow I'm thinking you may have a hard time finding enough people to read Danielle Steel here.

You're probably right.

I've taken to rereading the whole Harry Potter series before book 7 comes out next month. I've only read up to book 3 before and borrowed 4-6 before one of my school buddies left for a summer research program. Currently in the middle of book 2.

Seeing as I'm dyslexic, a slow reader, and can only sit still for about an hour, I don't know how I'm going to do it.

Ooooh... is the book any good - I LOVED the films but I always forget that it is actually a book.... I may have to have a dabble with it.

I'm reading Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell and it's AMAZING!

Currently I'm reading Coming Out by DS. I just finished Bloodline By Sidney Sheldon. Very good as always.
