Sixty! That was better than I had hoped! This was not a good day to read this book though. Bad idea.
... or The Picture of Dorian Gray. I worship them, religiously.
On the other hand, I'm relieved a few readers dislike Tuesdays with Morrie and Sophie's World. The absolute pits. Frankly, it isn't the books I'm allergic to, but the authors. Ayn Rand is another: anything by her. ... 4. The book of air and shadows - Michael Gruber 560 p.
5. Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom 191 p. I also listened to Tuesdays with Morrie (I swear I really do read books!) and I liked Morrie, that was pretty much it. Reminded me of someone I used to know. I agree with you that the lessons in both are somewhat trite and played out, but if the author is good that usually doesn't bother me ... I didn't like The Alchemist, but I liked Tuesdays With Morrie. I think I liked the latter because of the way the lessons about life, death, and living were told.
Hrmm.. I'm not sure if I'd want to re-read A Wild Sheep Chase though. For me, it's one of those stories that read once is enough. ...

Fishboy and Hollow Man = Tuesdays with Morrie ... Canadian book in a while actually.
Thus far this month: The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson, Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom, and I'm starting, and flailing because I haven't found a long enough stretch of uninterrupted time to get into it, The God of Small ... ... have read it when I was pregnant . . . those of you out there who have read it will understand why this is so!)
Tuesdays With Morrie is just as corny as I expected it to be. Problem is, lots of people love corny. Often (but not always) if something is a best seller, that's a good ... ... Sweet out-of-the-blue recommendations? After a certain popularity threshold, does the Unsuggester just go straight to Tuesdays With Morrie?
Thumbs up or thumbs down? ... H.Rider Haggard
The Lady Chapel by Candace M. Robb
The London Ritz Book of Christmas by Jennie Reekie
Man Eater's Motel by Denis Boyles ... which was such a disappointment after the pretty cover.
Also, I have to say that I was shocked when I finally read Tuesdays With Morrie--THAT was a best seller? "Stop and smell the roses"--wow, how profound. Who would have thought of that? Sheesh!
As for The DaVinci Code, I think ... ... it comes to books though. But would love to read new ones.
