I have an old Garfield (the cat) bookmark that I bought in the mid 80's. I also have one my son made for me when he was little. It is just a piece of brown cardboard with an orange construction paper leaf glued to it with Mom scrawled on it in crayon. Which do you think is my fav? ;)

I agree with you all. The time I have spent reading to my son is priceless. His dad and I read to him a lot when he was little and I really never stopped. Just last year he had to read The Grapes of Wrath for honors English. We had about a 15 minute drive to the gym every few days so I read to...

Just read: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith The Zombie Survival Guide - Max Brooks To read next: Fearless Fourteen - Janet Evanovich World War Z - Max Brooks (as soon as my sons friend gives it back)

Yes to Patricia Cornwell I'm with Beerwench. Patricia Cornwell - Jack The Ripper: Case Closed. Very involved dark read. Hard to put down, but at the end you find you know way too much about the mind of serial killers.

Book I read in July Pride and prejudice and zombies - I highly recommend if you like a lot of pride and prejudice with a few zombies.:stars3:

Thanks! I will.:D

The Barbary Plague - Marilyn Chase Alma Hitchcock: The Woman Behind the Man - Pat Hitchcock O'Connell Thou Shalt Not Grill - Tamar Myers Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury So Many Books, So Little Time - Sara Nelson

Did anyone else mention Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone? I read that book in a weekend. It wasn't at all what I expected and I consider it a weekend wasted on a depressing story.

Yes, that's what I always liked about King's books. He pulled you in and you really were living in the story with the characters when the creepy stuff started to come down. LOVE IT!

The Stand - Stephen King I know this isn't supposed to be a really scary story as far as there being a "booger" that will get you, but I read it when I was a freshman in college, living in the dorm. While reading the first part of the book where the super flu is killing practically everybody it...

I read in a book once about "how to write a book" that the best thing to do when writing is to write your first two or three chapters and then throw away the first chapter, the second chapter is where the story really begins. I think there are a lot of authors who should read just that one...

I haven't read that one but I read "Rich Kid, Smart Kid by the same author. Great real estate advice and very inspitational!

I haven't read any of these but would love to read White Lines, sounds interesting!

I think that's the only book of his I have read. What else has he written? It's nice to know there are people more flexible than me who can appreciate a less than happy ending.

I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier. Interesting until the end when you find out the main character is mentally disturbed and the book you just read was his fantasy life. I think that's just the way it is with lots of classics (assuming this is a classic).

Mark Twain James Herriot (I'm serious so dont laugh!) I started to nominate Erma Bombeck, but I was afraid of being banned.:o

Thanks! Isn't he sweet?:D

I've always thought public transport would be great. Maybe when my son starts driving I can get him to drive me! We live in a small town where everyone drives everywhere, we dont even have the option of public transportation.

I read the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. They are great books for those who like James Bond-like action. Also: Winter Solstice - Rosamund Pilcher Positive Thinking for a Time Like This - Norman vincent Peale
