Phew! If I get through all these by 2011, I think I can die happy.
I love that we've read so many of the same books!! What did you think of the reader? I only listened to the abridged version of it, but I loved it. We need to pick our one book. I was thinking...Virginia Woolf short stories? Or something by William Trevor because I love him!!
ReplyDeleteI have read most of the same ones you have read! How did that happen? Now for an incredibly lame question - Which was your favorite?
ReplyDeleteAs far as a favourite, not including the Bible, I think I would have to pick The Reader. I LOVE and adore My Life in France, and will read it many many more times. The Reader just hit me so hard and made me think about tough moral choices... I normally don't like Holocaust era books, either. It made me want to teach high school English so I could show fifteen year olds that literature can change your life. The Lovely Bones and Midwives take 2nd and 3rd place for fiction.
