I'm such a hopeless romantic!!
I'm reading the lastest Nicholas Sparks! The Lucky One.

It's about a marine returning home after his third tour of duty in Iraq and ends up looking for a girl who is in a picture he found in the dirt. He can't seem to get her out of his mind and feels she brought him great luck when he carried her picture with him.

I've read a few of those and "it's all coming back to me now."

just finished "The Other" by David Guterson (my neighbor).... along with just finishing "Child of God" by Cormac McCarthy. seriously disturbing, but incredible writing. i loved both and would highly recommend them to anybody (however those who want to read Child Of God should make sure they have a strong stomach

I just finished "Swine Not"
I could not put it down once I started. Extremely entertaining.

Eatonville, FL is having their annual festival this week honoring her. I have never gone to the festival, nor read any of her books. I think I need to remedy that!!

There's a festival? Wow. If you go, please tell us about it.

I would love to spend a week with others who loved her books.

Thanks for letting me know about it. I might make the trek someday.

I did not go, however they have it every January. www.zoranealehurstonfestival.com is the website for the festival that just ended. The local TV news is always there and do a piece on it. I imagine the website will be updated for next year's festival. If you ever decide to go, let me know. I only live about 30 miles from there...(and then its only 20 miles or so further to Margaritaville at City Walk )

Chesty: The Story of Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller, USMC by Colonel Jon T. Hoffman

Thank you Garry for the great gift!

[Wino you know]

You're welcome, Elrod.
It's a great book on "Mr. Sempre Fi" himself.

Let me know what you think, moog. People I've talked to either love it or hate it ... no middle ground so far.

Long Way Down-Ewan MacGregor and Charlie Boorman (spellings are wrong I believe, but a good read)

I am reading a book by my favorite author, Nelson DeMille. The Gold Coast. Just started it and its great so far.

I'm middle ground so far. My mistake is that I took the book out with a 14 day limit. I've only made it to page 150 of 900 something and the due date is 2/9.

Its possible if you skip the end notes, but then you'd be leaving a lot of his writing out.

Read "90 Minutes in Heaven" last night at the recommendation of my cousin. Really didn't get much out of it except that the minister who wrote (and lived it) is a devout Christian. Wonder if my cousin is trying to convert me.

I fell in love with DeMille by reading The Gold Coast.

Just finished EVERY LAST CUCKOO ... Kate Maloy. Very good debut. I will read it again.
