The last three books I've read all deal with death. I didn't even realize it until afterwards that I was reading dark book after dark book.

I ha...Soooo many good boooooks! Must read them ALL.<br />I haven't read ANY of these on your list, actually. You've previously recommended The Tortilla Curtain and State of Wonder, but now the others are on my list too. I've watched the film adaptation of Marley and Me - absolutely heartbreaking. My brother and I cry every time. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
