Then you would probably like "On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" or something like that. Beautiful story!

I have only read three on your list, so now I have some new ones to add to my "to read" list (you know, in all that spare time I have for reading! I miss reading!)

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I used to read a lot more. It seems Im just reading about photography these days! hahahaha.
If you get to any of these ones, though, Id love to hear what you think of them!

Okay, I lied to you the other night. I've read 2 1/2 of these books. I'm totally adding the rest to my "must read" list though.
