She loves it. <BR/><BR/>I've read three of the books you haven't yet posted about -- Jamaica Inn, A Walk in the Woods and Twisted. Loved them all. I'm not asking questions. It requires brain power. No, wait, what did you think of Jamaica Inn? Did the concept of shipwrecking surprise you or did you already know about wrecks off the Cornish Coast? Am I referring to the correct book (it's been a while)? How many du Maurier books have you read and where does this one fit in, as far as favorites, if you've read several? <BR/><BR/>Bookfool will shut up, now. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-71212229355615933432008-07-26T16:15:00.000-06:002008-07-26T16:15:00.000-06:00I want to read Sweetheart SO bad!!!

The books are Chicago, Crow Road (by Iain Banks), and The House on First Street which is a memoir about New Orleans! Yay! I ALMOST got the Good Thief. That one sounded incredible and it was a really tough choice. I'll probably end up buying it after your review :/chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-89662424027569266352008-07-26T13:19:00.000-06:002008-07-26T13:19:00.000-06:00Gee, Bill Bryson's hilarious adventure trekking th...Gee, Bill Bryson's hilarious adventure trekking the trail! Have you read a Bryson book before? Did you enjoy reading this? Did you believe every story, particularly the one with his friend (I forgot the name, but his trail buddy) because to me those are the laugh-out loud scenes that somehow felt too good to be true and yet believable just the same.Lightheadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438507601416513826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-75527901011003419272008-07-26T12:04:00.000-06:002008-07-26T12:04:00.000-06:00Deb - Awwww...you made me blush!

I would never start a series in Book 2, which is why this program is so cool.
