The Secret Life of Bees; Bridget Jones’s Diary; The Dark is Rising (young adult); Mr. Popper’s Penguins (young adult – for fun!); Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; When You Reach Me (mind-bending young adult); The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society; Ella Minnow Pea (took me two reads to get into the humor); Pride & Prejudice (of course!); Vivian Gussin Paley’s diary-style books about teaching preschool (so interesting and thoughtful/peaceful in so many ways); The Westing Game (young adult — for fun!); Summerhill School; I, Juan de Pareja (young adult). I could totally go on and on. I <3 reading!

Totally agree with the 2 Steinbeck books, plus his “Travels with Charley: In Search of America.” Also, “Tuesdays With Morrie,” by Mitch Albom.

Bridget Jones’ Diary, East of Eden, The God of Small Things (A. Roy) The last two are a little heavy.

In a Sunburned Country, by Bill Bryson–made me laugh out loud more than any book I’ve ever read!
