    I'm reading 'Yes Man' by Danny Wallace. It's about a dude who says yes to everything...... With hilarious consequences. I'm loving it so far! :D

    Just read 'The Road'
    I searched the thread and found like 20 posts about it....looks like I'm a step behind. Should watch more Oprah I guess :D

    I liked it...really easy read. I was told it had a bit of an open ending as well...but I don't know what else you could do to end that book that wouldn't cheapen it immensely.

    i was at the bookstore yesterday and they had a Stephen King book that just came out with this weird, reflective looking cover -almost 3d.

    Anyone read the new Eminem or Cobain book? Is it worth it?

    Prayers for Rain by Dennis Lehane.

    All his books are great. He wrote Mystic River and Gone baby Gone for those of you who have seen the films. Scorsese's got diCaprio on board for the next Lehane book turned into film called Shutter Island. Can't wait to see it cause the book rocked.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    hehe it's actually really cool. Had a bit of history to wade through but then it really got interesting. Learned some new methods to use instead of tampons too. :-D
