yes, all great ones, my faves as well. haven't heard of Sammy's Hill. will check that out... the ninth life of louis drax as well.

you prolly already know/have read, "Life of Pi"- i loved that one.

i'm in the middle of, "The Reader"- dark, and wonderful so far (german author forget name).

"Perfume"- Pattrick Suskind. i can't reccommend enough.

just finished, "The Passion" for a book club. set in europe during neopolian bonaparte time period. romantic, and whimsical.

also on my list are, "sisterhood of travelling pants" series (chick lit), and also "good in bed" by jennifer weiner.

that's just off the top of my head. YAY reading lists! i'll let you know if i think of more.

darkly dreaming dexter (now an hbo series staring "the gay brother" from six feet under)... a/b a serial killer crime detective. tagline, "the serial killer who you want to fall in love with". he kills the bad guys, ("takes out the trash"). it's dark. with dark humour. and i really enjoyed it. two books in series.

Thank you ever so much!

Louis Drax is a crazy book. i haven't been able to get anyone else to read it yet, probably because oprah didn't make it part of her club, but darn it, its a great book! when you read it tell me, i am just dying to have someone to talk to about it.

I am so excited about this list!

Thank you!

p.s. where did you find your book club? that sounds like something i might like.

sweet! i'll try and find myself a copy and let you know what i think.

my book club is just a collection of my friends here in the city that also sometimes go out for "Ladies night!" drinks, crafts nights or to read books together. its fun! you should make one!! its easy!

The idiot girls actions-adventure club byt Laurie Notaro. She's a really funny author.

Um... I also really, really liked A River Runs Through It by Norman McLean. It is really good as well. Very beautiful imagery and some good thoughts.

I also reccommend Life of Pi by ... crap I can't remember. Ask about it and a bookstore person will know what you are talking about. It is very good.

If you want a sortof serious book that is a good read (about religion) try Abraham by Bruce Feiler. He makes some really good points (that all of the fighting people do is retarded etc.) I liked it a lot as well.

Um... I think that's a pretty good list so far. You can always go for my personal favorite... Travels with Charlie by Steinbeck. A little bit heavy at times, but light hearted (I mean, how can traveling with your pooch not be light hearted?).

Okie, that's all I got. Te amo!
