Hi,
I am a nurse in my thirties who has been an avid reader since childhood, I think the first series of books I read and really enjoyed was the Laura Ingless Wilder Little House collection. Since I dont have children, though I do spend alot of time with my niece and nephews, I get to enjoy alot of reading time. I like to think that I had... more »

    Fav novel in 2011 question:
    Too tough to pick a single favorite. I finally read Harry Potter, which was amazing, however, I felt I knew it already. The nicest surprise was Rocket boys; the most intellectually-stimulating was The Handmaid's Tale and of course The Last Lecture was special and much needed at the time. Guess I can't pick just one...

    Sheldon read Catch22, I think he said it was kind of crazy, but good.

    He will love that-he did like the stink book, and there are quite a few in the series. He loves the Whimpy Kid stuff too! I know both my kids liked the Captin Underpants series, but I did not because they spell the words wrong, and I did not like that they were reading mispelled words-although they did not seem to care. I can not wait until we see New Moon-I am so obsessed!!!! I finished The Weight of Silence quickly-I really wanted to find out what happened so I kept on reading. I also started Edward Sawtelle, I hope I like it--it is long.

    They are pretty good, but I would have to say that the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books are better. The Black Lagoon books are okay too. I also like the I Spy books.

    Glad you liked it. I'm reading Eclipse now. I finished New Moon and couldn't stop. Have you read Shadow of the Wind? It was a good one.

    Lisa-Hope you are well. I loved The Last Summer of You & Me. I am reading A Seperate Peace now-which I like so far. I think my next read will be Night. Saw Michael J Fox on Oprah-very inspiring guy. Let me know how you like his book. Let's get together soon!!

    Did you see the new Michael J. Fox memoir coming out? I liked his 1st one so much and have wondered how he was doing these last 10 yrs., so, I definitely want to read the new one. Lately, I've been more into non-fiction and memoirs, I've noticed since November, my reading habits have been one Fiction, then one Non-fiction to balance out my literature repertoire. :)
