My favorite, by far, would have to be "The Choice" by Nicholas Sparks. Sparks is definitely a love story author, but he always has a twist to his love storie
s (many of you are probably familiar with The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, and Nights in Rodanthe - all which have become very popular movies) I can't count how many times I laughed, smiled and cried throughout this book, it definitely pulled on my heart strings.

"Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life - boating, swimming, and barbecues with his close buddes - he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship would only cramp his style. That is until Gabby Holland in next
door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the attractive redhead seems to have a grudge against him. Still, Travis can't stop trying to ingratiate him
self with his new neighbor, and his persisten efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a jour
ney that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage, and family, The Choice ultimately confrontsus with the most heart-wrenching question of all: How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?"
A few of the other books that I have read are "The Guardian", "Dear John," and Nights in Rodanthe" all by Nicholas Sparks. I have also read "The
Road" by Cormac McCarthy, and "Freedom Road" by Howard Fast. All were great books, and I recommend them all. If anyone would like to borrow any of them, let me know!

Oooh, I love to hear about good books. Thanks for sharing! I'll have to keep them in mind, once I get through the pile of books I alrady have here to read. Maybe the next time we're down, I could snag one from you, and then return it by mail? We'll see. Have you read any books by Jodie Picoult? I believe I sent a few of mine down to Grandma Cathy. Ask her about them, and you're free to borrow those, if she's finished. She is an excellent writer! The Pact and My Sister's Keeper (new movie coming out) were great, I thought. Not sure what Grandma thought?
I really want to read My Sisters Keeper before I see the movie, it sounds so good. I will have to borrow that one from her :) I am getting ready to read Wicked, Son of a Witch and the third one (I can't remember the name at the moment)...
I also want to borrow the Elephant book from you, that sounds really interesting! :)
When are you guys gonna come visit? :)
Hey Girl,

Hugs and Kisses Grandma Cathy
