I read The Lucky One and while I didn't hate it, I didn't love it either. Sparks' books are getting to be the same old, same old. I liked the relationship between Logan and Elizabeth but the Keith character was just ridiculous.

Mamie, I agree. It sure soured me on spending money on another Sparks book.

Mamie316 - I think David Sedaris is a hoot, in one of his books, Dress Your Family in Corduroy (I think) he had a story about a Dutch Santa that to this day if I think of it I start laughing, he has such a way with words.

My daughter has most of his books so I will read more. Some of the stories had me laughing out loud.

Oh I love the Dutch Santa story. I think it is one of my favorites and I have all of his books but one. I was laughing about it all day, and like you remember it and laugh out loud.

Can one of you tell me the name of the David Sedaris book you are talking about? I'm looking for a good, funny book. TIA!

Whoever mentioned Jay Leno's "Leading With My Chin", thank you. I have laughed out loud several times and have enjoyed reading it.

I just got through reading the Edgar Sawtelle book last night and I woke up all stuffy because I was boohooing so at the ending. It really got to my heart! I loved the writing and can see this being a great movie.

Oooh, that does sound like great gifts! Look for "Dancing in the LowCountry" by James Villas. It sounds good and I am going to put it on my list to read next. I am reading The Other Queen by P. Gregory right now and after a few chapters am enjoying the time period and learning about Mary, Queen of Scots.

I just finished the Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis which my Narnia obsessed pal insisted I read. LOL. Not bad.

I've been saving Lisey's Story by Stephen King until tomorrow when I have to spend 6 hours at the hospital. I'm looking forward to reading it as I've always loved his books.
