I read Twilight because of all the hype and the fact that everyone seemed to be reading it. I was disappointed at first but by the end I was enjoying it. I haven't read the others. What do you think of the series?

I thought #1 was a bit bland- I am definately enjoying #2 a lot more goes on- not so slow!
Oooh, a classic! I've read some by Dickens but haven't gotten to David Copperfield yet. . . how well did you like it?

It is a very long book though, probably should count for two.

Hmmm - I must not have been paying attention to my English teachers (I'm sure one would have mentioned it at some point). I didn't know D.C. was semi-autobiographical. Now, I'm very much interested in digging in!

Hi. I loved both of them. The Girl Who Played with Fire is a new story but most of the same characters so it is similar in style but all new adventures. If you liked the first one, you will enjoy the second as well. I can't wait for the third and final one.

What did you think of Sundays at Tiffany's? I have it on my to-read list and I've requested it from the library. I've read the description of the book online and it seems like it will be a good read.
I enjoyed it. I'd recommend it. It's chiclit and light but a good quick read. Have you read either Suzanne's Letters for Nicholas or Sam's Letters for Jennifer? They are both good too. All three are so different from James Patterson's other books.
