There's nothing quite like having a really tall TBR pile!<br /><br />Mary - I don't remember Watership Down, but I must have read it. Right? It's one of those books!<br /><br />Clarissa - I've never even heard of that one! I love that we have so many powerful books in our past!<br /><br />Amy - you're welcome! It's a great read :)<br /><br />Shelley - there are some books that really are better the 2nd (or 3rd) time around! <br /><br />Heather - I'd forgotten about that one! I think I read it with one eye closed in horror - but I read it!<br /><br />Damyanti - not every book is for every person - I think it's best that we all have our own unique books that change our heart!<br /><br />Lee - it really is wonderful! I fell into the world.<br /><br />Elaine - I do too! Bean is an awesome character :)<br /><br />Cherie - I hope you love it! :)<br /><br />Teresa - me too! My list of favourites is full of those kinds of books :)<br /><br />Susan - I wish I'd read Wrinkle as a child. I didn't find it until I was an adult. I love it - but I think I'd have loved it even more :)<br /><br />Elana - it's really powerful! I bet it's that kind of book for a lot of people!<br /><br />Jean - I bet it gets taken out a lot!
