    Wow, I'll have to check out your shelf more closely to see closely we sync.

    Anyone who gives 1 star for "The Hours" can't be all bad.

    Hey! So what were you digging on my shelf? I saw the little pile of dirt to the side.
    Actually, the Phillip K Dick quote is my favorite, but I do really like the Dr. Zeus one.

    I keep thinking about it too. I'll have to try some of her other books. Thanks.

    Just finished it....couldn't put it down. Really liked it! 4 stars. Hooked when it started in India as I've read several books set during the British Raj that I loved.

    yeah, i've been planning on reading "the book thief" for a while now, but my to-read list is super-long cuz i read a lot + such a salad mixture of genres - and sometimes books can hang out on that list for years before i get to them. but i saw your review of it - and it was quite effective in encouraging me to put it closer to the top of my queue :).

    You know Julie's quote from J.Patick Lewis, I presume?

    Please bury me in the library
    In the clean, well-lighted stacks
    Of Novels, History, Poetry
    Right next to the Paperbacks.

    Where the Kids' Books dance
    With True Romance
    And the Dictionary dozes,
    Please bury me in the library
    With a dozen long-stemmed proses.

    Way back by a rack of Magazines,
    I won't be sad too often
    If they bury me in the library
    With Bookworms in my coffin.

    I just pumped it on over to Dana - I was reminiscing about second-hand bookstores on Long Island!

    At first I thought it was cricket! Then I thought, Bowls?

    Thanks for the bleep.

    Regards, Michael

    I'm sure I loved The Great Santini because of growing up as a military brat. There's something about that life than only brats understand. The term comes from "British Regiment Attached Traveler" so doesn't mean we were really brats...our father's would suffer if we had been. I've met Pat Conroy a few times and he wrote the intro to Military Brats by Mary Edwards Wertsch...hope I'm not repeating myself.

    I see you're reading The Water is Wide by Pat Conroy. Just loved it. It was made into a movie called Conrack with Jon Voigt. It was Conroy's second book. His first was about the Citadel called The Boo. We were in Charleston last weekend and had to go to the Friday parade. Our son graduated from there in'92. Guess you can tell I'm an Army Brat? Military music makes me cry.

    Hi Eve! I finally got to finish it (I can only read a little bit at a time between my 2 teaching jobs). I definitely wasn't expecting the ending.

    Yes, it is Porter and she is really terrific. I've listened to her before and she's different with every book I think. Unlike Scott Brick, and I do like him, who really sounds pretty much the same from book to book. I can't believe you read this huge book more than once! I don't think I've ever re-read a book! Not that I think it would be bad, I just don't seem to have the time and my TBR is HUGE. I wish I could read faster or be more dedicated to it. That's why I listen so much, I can do things like garden, quilt, cross-stitch, clean house, etc. with the ear buds in. I can't vacuum, however, so I'm not real good about keeping up with that! :-)

    I'm loving it and almost finished. I'm doing the audio and the reader is just wonderful with the Scottish characters. You were right about #2 in the Twilight series - yuck. I'm going to post my review on PBT shortly.

    Will have to look on Netflix for the movie. I will presume it's true too. Don't you just hate it when doubts surface like this? Same thing happened with the book The Long Walk but I'm still believing it.
