[quotagirl]

Ok, here goes...

1)Papillon - by Henri Charriere
2)Angela's Ashes - by Frank McCourt
3)a tie) The Stand - by Stephen King & Sho Gun - by James Clavell

All books that I pick up have a "100 page" test. I'll always give a book 100 pages of my time. If it's worth it after that, I continue.
The above 4 books well... I couldn't put down for the life of me. All life stopped until I finished, and then terribly sad when it was over.
