sula, you're my new best friend. i love those books. god knows how many times i read them cover to cover when i was young. in fact if i'm having a really bad day i sometimes pick them up and read. it's like comfort food, but you don't gain weight!

i just read Tom Jones by Henry Fielding. it was REALLY good.

currently, i'm reading Barry Lyndon by W.M. Thackery (it appears to be set in Ireland! how amusing!) and She Stoops to Conquer but I don't know that author.

my favorite book ever is To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. I also really like Contact by Carl Sagan and anything by Cynthia Voight.

*is scandalized by "Santa's" actions*

Maybe your parents just should have used the method that I experienced... having my sister blab the truth about Santa Claus!

Larry's always been tough. He can laugh heartily telling the story of how as little kids on Christmas Eve he and his sister kept pestering their father,saying, "I think I hear Santa, Dad! I think I hear Santa!" Until their annoyed old man said "There is no Santa Claus! Now go to sleep!"

I totally forgot Gone with the Wind, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-->This book is a must read in my opinion. Just fantastic. Also, if you haven't read The Shining and have only seen the film, READ THIS BOOK! I was blown away by it.
