And, like Richard, I'm intrigued, now, by You Can't Lie to Me. (Thank goodness I'm five blocks away from a library, or I would go broke reading. I do go broke reading, anyway, because I live six blocks away from my favorite used book store. Sigh.) But I liked your picks and your reasons for them. Thanks for some good reads. I can see why you had such a hard time picking, though. I can never come up with a "favorite book" or "favorite author". There are so many. But one of my all time favorites was A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith. Those characters felt so real to me, I wanted to move in with them. :-)Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207495598783079185.post-13679935185187726572013-03-11T07:56:31.010-06:002013-03-11T07:56:31.010-06:00Captain Underpants?

Then teaching it to his little sister. I might have to check it out.<br /><br />The Outsiders was my favorite childhood book. I really need to read it again to get my adult perspective.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207495598783079185.post-64489195570001393022013-03-11T04:23:42.370-06:002013-03-11T04:23:42.370-06:00Swallows and Amazons was a favourite of mine - als...Swallows and Amazons was a favourite of mine - also the Chronicles of Narnia. I loved Memoirs of a Geisha, although it got some bad press, and Lucia Lucia by Adrian Trigiani. For some reason, the voice of that novel left a big impression on me. Also Pride and Prejudice which I adore. Oh, Tanya its so hard to pick a few when there are so many. Hope you and yours are well.Valentina Hepburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671574149855533471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207495598783079185.post-5097560979946556412013-03-10T17:22:49.429-06:002013-03-10T17:22:49.429-06:00Interesting selection.

I'm particularly intrigued by "You can't lie to me." <br /><br />It's wonderful you and your children get so much fun out of reading together.writing and living by Richard P Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814139767151989286noreply@blogger.com
