Oh, and Addy- that book took me forever to get through but it was absolutely worth it. Goodwin knows how to write. Updated On: 1/3/05 at 04:41 PM

RedHot -

I enjoyed "Welcome to the World, Baby Girl" by Fannie Flagg. I'm currently reading her brand new novel - "A Redbird Christmas". It just came out in November, I think.

I agree with "James and the Giant Peach". Princeton, you teach elementary school? To quote myself from an earlier post: "I don't know you but I luv ya already"

Currently reading "At Swim, Two Boys" by Jamie O'Neill. I love books about Ireland and want to go so badly!

I'm reading a bunch at once right now.

Stone Cold Dead Serious and others(even though they're plays)
The Phantom of the Opera(which I'd started a couple of years ago and had to put down because I had to read a book for school)
Pride and Prejudice
Cause Celeb

and I think that's it.

I have to read "The Odessey" for school (which is not fun)
For pleasure, I'm reading a novelization of West Side Story (which is kind of weird) and "The Coffin Quilt" by Ann Rinaldi.

One of these days I'll finish Gone With the Wind and Phantom of the Opera... and maybe Les Miz if I have a lot of time on my hands.

imcuteloveme--I LOVE LOVE LOVE Slaughterhouse Five. That is one of my favorite books of all time. You will enjoy it, I promise.

Racetrack--I was SO dissapointed in The Phantom of the Opera book. It was so melodramatic. I wanted to drop kick Raoul everytime he talked because all he did was whine and cry. Christine could fart and he would cry because it was the most beautiful thing in the world. It wasn't until they actually got to his lair that it actually got really good.

I am starting to read ALL FALL DOWN by Carlene Thompson. I love all of her books. She writes mystery/thrillers and I can never guess the killers in her books, which is odd because I can usually guess the killer pretty quickly. If you haven't read any of her books I STRONGLY reccomend it.

When I read Phantom before I remember enjoying. I think I was 12 or 13 when I read it the last time so maybe my ideas have changed.

Maybe I'll try and pick up Jane Eyre again, which I've never completely read through, but enjoy. And Les Miz.

The Sweater Letter - it's a great non-fiction book about a murder that occurred in Upper Michigan in 1992. A husband shot his wife in the woods during deer season, and almost got away with murder. A "Sweater Letter" written by the husband (in disguise of his late wife) to his wannabe girlfriend was the key to solving the mystery.

*le sigh* And I finally picked up my vacation reading for Constitutional Law- Make No Law, by Anthony Lewis. I can tell this class is going to be a bit of work.
