I just finished Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruene.... high recommend it!  It's a great story which involves the circus circuit of early 1900's America.  good book!

That sounds good - I am going to look for it.  Thanks!

I've got a number of things from the library but the only one I can remember right now is A Catcher in the Rye.

I've never read it before!!  Somehow we avoided it in my high school.  So I'm going to try.  But I haven't been able to get into it yet.  :-\\\\

I know it's supposed to be a seminal novel and all that, but I really didn't enjoy it.  It wasn't really the book itself, either.  Holden annoyed me so much, I wanted to scream!

Of course, you should take my thoughts with huge grains of salt.  I hated The Grapes of Wrath, too.

Seminal, shmeminal. ;)

Don't listen to AbbyNormal. She watches the new 90210.

Seriously, it's an amazing book. One of the few I've ever given 5 stars!

I read this last month.  Very engaging story.  I can give you the book in October if you want.
