Memoirs of a Geisha is amazing.

@Aliucon: Cause of Death is like the sixth in the series I'm reading about Dr. Kay Scarpetta... she's a medical examiner and it's crime stuff from her POV.

If you're looking for a book to read, I'd recommend Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass. It's the first in the Body Farm series... which is an actual place in Tennessee that they study decomposition of bodies; it's written very well and I positively loved it. It kept me guessing to the end, too. It was awesomeness.

^I'm surprised you had nothing to say about "TO Kill a Mockingbird"

Um, I've actually... never read it. ...

WAIT, I HAVE SOMETHING: Gregory Peck was attractive. =D;

... one thing I've run across in Cause of Death was what felt like a veiled insult towards Mormons.
I didn't appreciate it and it didn't fit the story, either...

Green Eggs and Ham is a lifetime favorite (even though I never learned from the moral)

by **WunderbarPhalanges** Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:51 pm

Freak, anyone that doesn't have Green Eggs and Ham as a lifetime favorite should be walloped!

I liked the Cat in The Hat more

Fffffffffff I'm bad at explaining books here

Obviously don't read past the plot summaries if you don't want to spoil yourself.

You know what's funny? I have a friend who put up a facebook post about this book XD
