I just have a funny memory to share. In 4th (5th?) grade I used to always read the Sweet Valley Twins books and my mom absolutly forbid me to read Sweet Valley High or Sweet Valley University. One time I read one anyway and there was a sceen where a boy touches Elizabeth's breasts. I couldn't...

I hate when I have to go to work and I'm in the middle of a really good book. I deliver pizzas so I have alot of driving time and I tend to just ponder the book while I'm driving. Probably not very safe since sometimes I just get wrapped up in my own little world while I'm driving.

I have been thinking about reading it. Did you read it? What did you think?

I thought it was really interesting to learn a little about Vlad the Impaler. I knew that Bram Stoker had based his dracula on a real person but I didn't know anything about him until I read this book. I love books that teach you tidbits in the story.

My favorite books as a kid: Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell The Giver by Lois Lowry Mandy by Julie Andrews

I read 1984 in high school and it really made a big impression on me.

I just finished reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I thought it was very good. Has anyone else read it? What did you think?

I love historical fiction! Some of these books have already been mentioned, but they are so good I have to say them again! The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant The Red Tent by Anita Diamant The Other Bolyn Girl by Philippa Gregory The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory Daughter of Fortune by...
