My most recent favorite book is "The Secret Life of Bees". I haven't found anything I like better in 2 years...

A couple of lighter readings:

The Mouse That Roared

Don Quioxte USA


More scary than the movies:

The Omen

Damien


Really good ones:

To Kill a Mockingbird

I Am Third (short, but terrific - related to the movie Brian's Song)

George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm

Red October (haven't got to the rest of the series yet)

Yes, it was a great book and in case you didn't know the movie is out. Obviously not as good as the book, never are, but still good.

I can never get anyone to go to the movies with me. (Sniff. Sniff.) And that's one thing I don't like doing alone...because I like to talk about the movie afterwards. So, I'll just have to wait until it comes out on DVD and chain my husband to his chair!!!

Our local theatre is doing a 3 month series of old movies on weekend afternoons. They started with 'Gone with the wind' and had 'The Wizard of Oz' this past weekend. That was very cool to see on the big screen. They are having 'Psycho' and 'Halloween' the next two weeks.

By Christmas, they will have 'Miracle on 34th Street', 'Its a Wonderful Life', and 'White Christmas'.

We are extremely lucky to have this beautiful theatre owned by a local corporation that is not worried about profits at the theatre. They operate it more as a benefit to our small community. Very unique little town.

Hello,
I enjoy Sue Grafton, T is for Trespass. She writes these book A-T with a character who's a private detective. The stories are humorous. Also Janet Evanovich is another author who writes in this style.

Morgan, Lovely Bones is wonderful. Have you read Alice Seabold's other 2 books: "Lucky" (which is a bit grim) and "The Almost Moon"?
