    Nicholas Sparks fans? Which book should I read?

    I am going to start on "The Wedding" tonight.. maybe I'll actually read the entire thing since I have nothing to do, since I planned on doing that earlier this summer, but I didn't have the chance to, so.. I am gonna do that.. since I absolutely loooooooooooooove "The Notebook" ANYWAY, which book SHOULD I read, after "The Wedding"?

    - True Believer
    - A Bend in the Road
    - The Guardian
    - The Notebook (of course, I HAVE NOT READ this book yet, but I want to, so I'll plan on buying it sometime and I'll read it when I feel like it, but then again, I don't know if it'd change my opinion on the movie)
    - Nights in in Rodanthe
    - A Walk to Remember (seen the movie a couple times and I have it on DVD..)
    - The Rescue
    - Message in a Bottle (seen this movie a long time ago, but I plan on buying it on DVD someday..)


    I see that Nicholas Sparks has a new book coming out in October called "At First Sight", a follow up on "True Believer"..

    I stumbled onto this Q/A on "The Notebook/The Wedding" -

    How can they make a movie out of The Wedding, since Noah and Allie died in the film version of The Notebook?

    Movie magic, of course, if the producers choose to go that route. Either [a] Noah miraculously recovers -- in which case, the opening scene would be one in which Noah is rushed, via ambulance to the hospital, [b] make Noah more of an imaginary character that resides in Wilson's mind, and uses "memories" of conversations gone by identical to those in the book. [c] Set The Wedding earlier -- in other words, BEFORE the film version of The Notebook and create a new story for Noah that's different from the one in The Wedding, or (d) Delete Noah's character entirely.

    All of those options, while not strictly in line with The Wedding, are typical of the way Hollywood would choose to handle the problem. If asked, my own choice would be for choice (a).


    (Ah, I'd disagree, I'd go with B)

    The Guardian is a really good one. It's more of a thriller but I had tears streaming down my face at the end. And there's a dog involved in the story!

    I think that sounds like a really good book! I might have to check it out myself. I'm not much for love stories but this one sounds a little different.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
