Still Alice - Lisa Genova :stars4: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland - Lewis Carroll :stars3: Cherry Bomb - J.A.Konrath :stars4:

Count me in too!

I have to agree with Eclair's comments. This was Albom's first foray into fiction and I think he was trying for something inspirational that would be embraced by the masses - and hopefully Oprah! It did make me tear up in one part but that was overshadowed by the rest of the novel where I...

Still Alice - Lisa Genova

I read it last year when the movie was released (but I still haven't seen the movie). I definitely agree that it was disturbing and very sad in many ways. I thought there were far too many compounding issues for the main character to deal with and still to be realistic. But I'm sure that such...

The $12 Million Stuffed Shark - Don Thompson 3.5/5

I found both of these inspirational... The Alchemist - Paulo Coehlo or Tuesdays With Morrie - Mitch Album

Looks like we're both set... I chose The Corpse Had A Familiar Face by Edna Buchanan from the Alix's list of recommendations. Alix chose The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls from my list of recommendations. :)

My Uncle Oswald - Roald Dahl 3.5/5 stars Rather saucy adult tale from my all-time favourite children's author. Pretty light and easy to read but definitely no "BFG"!

The Five People You Meet In Heaven - Mitch Albom :stars4: Reminded me of "The Alchemist" but not as fable-like. Some parts brought tears to my eyes where others were a bit too contrived. Not horrendous but not outstanding!

John Dies At The End - David Wong 3.5/5 Was an entertaining read but had fairly small print and often page after page of descriptives. Struggled with it more than I expected to.

After my recent pick ups, my collection stands at 333 books. :)

The Seven Days Of Peter Crumb - Jonny Glynn :stars4:

Thanks to Will... :cool:

Old School - Tobias Wolff :stars3:
