When I have spare time (Whew!) I love to read...just wondering if you can suggest any good books? I love page turners! I just finished one called 'Cloud Atlas'. It had six stories, all connected in different ways. You get half each story through the fifth one, then six is all in one, and then it works its way back to the first one, answering lots of questions. Kinda odd, but very, very well written. The views prestented by this poster do not represent the views of this or any other organization. The information contained, along with $4.75 will purchase most drinks at Starbucks.

"watching something so beautiful and knowing you made it...." "The most amazing thing in life is feeling it grow inside you"

I have read both several times and have found them very enjoyable. Amy Tan is a very good author when it comes to drama I believe.

I fell in love with these books! I can't believe it but I can't wait for the 7th and final book to come out. Give them a try.

I am excited about the new ones coming out.

Recently I read Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham and it was excellent!! I am always looking for a good read too! Oh yeah, BTW the Harry Potter books are soooo great and about 100 times better than the movies. Happy reading everyone!
