    Thumbs up Recommended Read

    I just finished a great book the other day and wanted to share it. It is an Oprah's book club selection. I haven't read many of her books, but have since she started reviving classics.

    The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
    by Carson McCullers
    ISBN 0-618-52641-2

    It is a book about the goings on in a small southern town. Phenomenally written and you get a feel for each of the characters. This is a great read for both guys and girls!

    Cindy, this is one of my all time favorite books, great for all ages but be sure to give to any teenage nieces or daughters. There was a movie made of this that I think was pretty good, starring Kim Hunter if I am not mistaken.

    Just finished The Devil Wears Prada. Hilarious, frothy stuff about the nether side of the world of high fashion. Just picked up The Rule of Four, anybody read this?

    I just finished "To The Nines". As usual, it was hilarious!

    Have you read any of the Shopaholic books? I read Confessions of a Shopaholic and laughed and laughed!

    Girls, another funny, funny "beachy" read is "The Nanny Diaries"--I think that's the name. About a young nanny who works for this horrible woman, upper east side type. Highly recommend!
