Hey Suz, if you like that one you should read her other one called Many Waters. It follows a couple of other kids from the same family as A Wrinkle In Time. Many Waters is one of those books that I can read again and again because it's that good. Then again, the last time I read it was a long time ago. Maybe it'd be different now that I'm not a young'un?
I just finally finished Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It's very out there and it was kind of hard for me to get into it at first, but once I did I read it very quickly. Very interesting, and definitely makes you think.
I've also been recently addicted to a series of books by Jacqueline Carey that's completely different than that one, and it starts with Kushiel's Dart. If you don't like books set in other time periods with slightly different language or wording, than avoid this one. But I love them. The language is definitely more poetic at times, but it's not all heavy and bogged down like some period pieces seem to be. This one is set in a pseudo Renaissance period, in a universe basically set up to mimic our own, but everything is also made up. It's hard to explain but basically it's a fictionalized world where names, events, and things have been changed and altered but they're also somewhat based on our world. It's somewhat fantasy-ish, but it's actually more like a political intrigue, action-y book than anything else. Definitely

those 2 sound a little funky but interesting :) i'll check them out, thanks! i like all kind of books, especially mysteries. i've been trying to read more classic books and best-sellers too. i love all of kathy reichs books, gregory maguire, michael crichton (but not so much with his newer releases). i recently read "pride and prejudice", a book of short stories by kim edwards called "secrets of a fire king" because i really liked her novel "the memory keeper's daughter." i think i have to keep better track, i can;t remember any others right now... (and i don't know how to underline, sorry! hehe) thanks for your suggestions!

I just saw that collection of short stories at Borders and it interested me! I haven't read The Memory Keeper's Daughter yet, but I know a bunch of people who have and it seems really interesting! :)
Also, I saw your ultrasound picture...it's so awesome! It totally looks like a little person now...way more defined than some ultrasounds I've seen. :)
