    Pretty much every book I've read was brilliant in some way (there are a few exceptions to that for *sometimes* personal reasons). I love reading.
    One that I'll always go back to though is Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. Amazing book.

    I dunno, I've read books where when I got to the end I thought, "wow, absolutely nothing happened"

    Like the book Disclosure. And Twilight series.


    I felt this way about Texasville. Such a disappointment compared to Last Picture Show and Lonesome Dove!

    To Kill a Mockingbird
    Of Mice and Men
    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

    Just finished Cuckoo's Nest a couple of days ago, and WOW! Loved it! Now, I want to find the movie so I can do the typical tear apart the movie because the book was so much better day ;)

    The book definitely was much better, but the movie was pretty good. Nicholson and Fletcher did great jobs on their characters.
