Anyway, onto a new topic of discussion which I realize may only peak the interest of a few rather than a multitude. However, I am presenting it to everyone: As an avid lover of books and reading itself, I ask: What is your favorite book or piece of literature? Currently, I am reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn! I must say that I absolutely love it and am honestly embarrassed to admit that I have never read it before; whether it is because I never had the time or simply never took the time! I can truthfully admit that it may be my next favorite!

I've read all kinds of novels and other works-including the classics-but my favorites have been easy reads such as the Nicholas Sparks books!! (I just love him)!! And, we all know that no matter how good the movie is, that movie rarely ever lives up to the book! Yet, the Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, in my opinion, is almost as good as the movie and it quite possibly ranks at the same caliber in my book! (No pun intended)!!

So, in regard to love of literature, my question is not only "What is your favorite book?" but also, as an iquiry to your appreciation of literature and/or leisurely pass-time, what interesting tale have you been reading this summer?

Signing off-Your nighttime bookworm,
