Mike, who knew you wrote books that Steve would recommend to his mom?
The Road was good, but ROUGH on the emotions. I still really liked it, though. Not sure if Mom will.
Here are mine in order for you:
Devil in the White City--Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America--Erik Larson (Nonfiction about the Chicago World's Fair) LOOOOVED this book!
Peace Like a River--Leif Enger
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn--Betty Smith
Life of Pi--Yann Martel
Well, I left a comment yesterday, but it apparently disappeared into cyberspace. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have all ready read Persuasion, Life of Pi, the whole Anne of Green Gables series,and Pickwick Papers. I look forward to perusing the other books you have suggested (gotta finish the Harry Potter series first, though--thanks for the reminder, Carolyn).
We want your movie favorites as well. Love you all--Mom
