Dr. Seuss had a huge impact on my life; I love his books!

You have a nice collection in the works. Keep up the good work and I hope we have another class together soon :-)

Alis, I enjoyed looking over your library. I am particularly interested in reading Water for Elephants. This is the second time in one week that I have "heard" someone talking about the book, so it must be a sign that I need to check it out! :) I also like the variety that you offer. I am definitely need to take a second look over your library and add to my own "must read" list!!

Alisa,
Thanks for so many great reviews! I was checking out your page because I noticed you'd reviewed a bunch of books I keep finding myself picking up at the bookstore or library... I haven't read any of them yet but after reading some of your reviews I've put them higher on my list. Ah, so many books, so little time. :) It is nice to hear other opinions about books I'm considering reading, though, since I have so many books on my "to-read" list I usually won't actually read one unless I do have a recommendation of some sort. Thanks for yours.

Alisa,
I read the reviews posted about The faith club. That looks like a really good book. I plan on adding it to my long list of books I would like to read. Hopefully, after this semester I will have time to catch up. Thanks for the book idea.
mkbarton ps. I just adopted a kitty last weekend. The poor thing was abused. Whoever had her burnt her with a lighter even her whiskers). I am glad to provide a home. when I took her to the vet she was full of worms and everything bad a kitty could have.

I love your cat picture! Cats and books go together so well! We share the book, Water for Elephants in our profiles. I really loved that book and could see "movie" potential for it! I thought Leo DiCaprio would be great as the male lead. I don't know about the female lead. What do you think?
I'm going to look up some of the other books that you rated highly. I'm always looking for good fiction or really interesting memoirs or bios. Do you have any suggestions? I really like Augusten Burroughs.
