I always find the book to be so much better than the movie

Personally, I think movies are unable to deliver the same nuances as books.

I read Shogun quite a long time ago- it was an excellent epic story. Richly detailed, capable of transporting you to a different time and place. I would highly recommend it-  it is a very serious read.

Found Christopher Paolini's "Brisinger" at a second hand store.  I've got the first two in the series.  Now I have to decide if I want to dive in, or dig the other two out of storage and start all over!

My sister was sweet when Brisinger first came out she bought me a hard cover copy.  I found the other two in thrift stores in hard back.  I am prepared.  We could read them and discuss them.  Hehehehe.

My daughter was given "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" By John Boyne for her birthday last week.

I took a look at this morning and couldn't put it down. I loved it. Definitely worth a read.   :thumbup; :thumbup; :thumbup; :thumbup;

I just finished "Stones From A River" and "Floating In My Mother's Palm" by Ursula Hegi.  I got them based on comments in this thread.  I bought them used from Amazon for about $4.00 each.  I liked both books but probably  preferred "Stones" the most.  Currently I'm reading another of Jodi Picoult's novels...Songs of the Humpback Whale.  It's been more difficult to read because it's written in a sort of backward sequence; quite different from most of the others of her books that I've read or really anything else that I've read before.  I'll get through it but can't say I've enjoyed it as much as some of her others.

I agree.

My daughter has just turned 15 and has already read many "war themed" books.  Although it is still categorized as a children's book. In Ireland it won two Irish book Awards, Children's Book of the Year and Peoples Choice Book of the Year. It has also been short listed for many international awards, was a Top 10 bestseller in the UK and many European countries, reached Number 1 in Australia and was a New York Times Bestseller. I don't think anyone under 15 would understand half of what is going on in the story.

I've read all the Lincoln Rhyme novel that Willow mentioned. good reads, very suspenceful since
Deaver writes in so many changes that you can't guess the twists and turns.
When I read non fiction I usually read Civil War and World World II books. I just started Retribution by
Max Hastings which details the last two years of the war in Asia.

"Bimbos of the Death Sun" by Sharyn McCrumb.  Gotta love the name.  It's actually a murder mystery, set in a sci-fi convention, and it's hysterically funny - or at least to me, since I have friends heavy into cons.
