My life time favorite book is "The Little Prince". It's for children but it speaks to your heart. Really. Fantabulous book. It's not long. You can read it quickly. I'd strongly recommend it. Really.
My lifetime favorite is the Bible.
You sinners may have never heard of it. Pick yourself up a copy today and be saved!
I read almost a third of History of Love. It was pretty good and I would've probably finished it if it hadn't been due back at the library.
I wouldn't waste my time with A Million Little Pieces. The Smoking Gun did an expose on him and apparently he "fudged" on his criminal record. He was on Larry King last night trying to defend himself.
Right now I'm reading Teacher Man by Frank McCourt, the dude who wrote Angela's Ashes. It's really good. -SM
Shigeki - I have never read that book. I am going to add it to my list.
Anonymous - Thanks for the recomendationg. But I have already read the bible.
fwmama - I can't wait to read the History of Love. I think you would really like Misquoting Jesus. Check it out and let me know what you think.
