I read "The Shell Seekers" - and I watch the PBS series "Doc Martin" which takes place in Cornwall. Randi, I've read a couple of Maeve Binchy's books and really liked them! I read "The Hiding Place" in high school.
When I went to the bookstore to pick up this quality measurement book, they had a table with a sign: Books Everyone Should Read. There were classics on it - The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, and the diary of Anne Frank. There were also a couple I have not read - "Night" by Elie Wiesel and Khaled Hossaini's (sp?) "One Thousand Splendid Suns"- I think that's the title. My sister-in-law teaches middle school language arts and "Night" is one of the books she has taught. I re-read The Great Gatsby when the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio came out. Didn't get it in high school, didn't get it in college and I still don't completely get it. Will try to get to the library soon. During summer (through September) the library is open Sundays from 11 AM until 3:30 PM- wish they would do it all year round!
