Okay, so, now rate them. Or at least tell me the 3 best. The 3 I should get my hands on.
And, if you say Harry Potter 7 is your favorite even though you haven't read it yet I will soooo beat you up side the head.

Oh, and I forgot to say thanks mostly to Corrie & Michele. My main book lenders! ;)
406What did you think of The Birth House? I am just about to start reading it.
You should check out Rohinton Mistry. He's a Canadian author and his books take place in India. If you're interested I can always drop one of them off at your Mum and Dads for you to check out.
Hope all is well.
