Empire Falls

Empire Falls - Richard Russo loved it! full of heart and compassion for the human spirit. a new addition to one of my most favorite books.

The English Patient

The English Patient - Michael Ondaatje i loved this book. it's so beautifully written. I haven't seen the movie yet so i dont know if it stayed faithfull to the book. you'll sympathize with all the characters and their stories.

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini Beautiful, beautiful book. had me crying within the first few pages of the story. so touching and heart-breaking, but full of compassion for the human spirit. Hosseini writes so beautifully your emotions could easily identify with his words. I will always remember the book's most memorable line..."for you a thousand times over"...

Catch-22: 50th Anniversary Edition

Catch-22 - Joseph Heller, Christopher Buckley Brilliant. laugh-out-loud funny. and yet gritty. it's quite difficult to read at first ( had several attempts at starting to read it) but the story eventually all came together. a classic i will read again and again.
