For my birthday, dad bought me this book he's reading. I just started it today, and I'm about 50 pages in. This is (so far) an AWESOME book! It's about a mute boy and his dog. It takes place in rural Wisconsin and so far I'm loving it!
I bought Lord of the Flies a month ago when I was at Powell's down in Portland. I've started reading it, but I'm not getting into it like I thought I would. A few people at work said it's one of the greatest books they've read, my office is full of readers with typically good suggestions. And then I kept hearing about the parallels with LOST, so thought that was probably a good idea to read. Ehh...I'll try it again later. Maybe in February right before LOST returns I'll want to...
AND THEN, a week or two ago I was reading my Real Simple and they were recommending good books, and so today I took two HUGE bags of books to Half Price Books to sell, and then I ended up buying The Secret History, and Water for Elephants. I'm pretty excited to read them, and now I'm excited about The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. If you have a dog, I'm thinking you'll want to read this book. And not in one of those "your dog looks like Marley" kind of ways. ALTHOUGH, should we let the bets begin on how many people will buy me Marley and Me for Christmas? I'm pretty sure it'll be in full promotion mode at all bookstores, with Owen Wilson & Jennifer Aniston on the cover (and a speck of a yellow dog in the background...). My guess is THREE...

I guess I have to take back Marley and Me now. Oh well . . .
I'm glad you're enjoying The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. You're about 50 pages into it and I'm about 50 pages from the end. I love this book!
Your dad suggested Water for Elephants to me, for me and mom, I gave it to her for mother's day with the idea that we would read it together and discuss.... I couldn't wait for her so sped through it instead. I LOVED IT! I hope you enjoy it!
