Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral
Kris Radish
Bantam, 2006
A lovely way to deal with death.
I am a guy. I like this book. I don't think the author is the best in the world and neither is this book. However, it is what it is. A lovely story of love, loss and living.
So sad to see that many think that death is a dull or boring subject. I suppose to ...

Semper Fi to the Stars!
I have read the previous two triologies, Heritage and Legacy. This is a great start to the new series. Mr. Douglas/Kieth has done it again.

The Inheritance of Loss
Kiran Desai
Grove Press, 2006
Stunning, Powerful, and Beautiful
"Inheritance of Loss," by Kiran Desai, is less of a novel with a single coherent plot than it is a fascinating accumulation of interlocking stories with common themes. Together, they passionately illuminate the author's contemporary worldview. Overall, the novel is a ...

The Boleyn Inheritance
Philippa Gregory
Touchstone Books, 2007
My favorite of Philippa Gregory!
I absolutely loved this book. It's a great book to read right after reading The Other Boleyn Girl. It answers so many questions you have about what happened after that book. I tell all my friends about it and let them borrow this book. They love it, too.

The Shell Seekers
Rosamunde Pilcher
Gramercy, 2004
Five Stars is NOT Enough! The best book by far.
This was truly the best novel I've read. I was totally absorbed in this story and all of the characters. Pilcher's descriptive writing makes you feel you are there. You see what is written. You smell the smells and hear the sounds. You definitely feel what is going on. ...

Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions)
Charles Dickens
Dover Publications, 2001
One of the best novels ever written
Without a doubt this has to be one of the greatest novels of all time. I won't say it's the best just because once a work of art attains greatness I find it quite incomparable to other great works. Great works are ones which have fully succeeded in expressing the ...

The Woman in White (Penguin Classics)
Wilkie Collins
Penguin Classics, 2003
Thank you Matthew Broderick
I don't mind admitting that I discovered this book because I had read that Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker named their child Wilkie after Wilkie Collins, an author I had never heard of. I am a huge a Dickens fan, and when I read of his and Collins' ...
