I'm so far behind on my reading list, it's not even funny... and I know I'll get more books for Christmas (my parents always asked me what I wanted for christmas when I was a kid, and the answer was always the same: books) ... but the best book I've read this year was 'Unintended Consequences'... I re-read 'Atlas Shrugged' this year, and also re-read 'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follet (which, oddly, is one of my all-time faves)... I also had to read 'The Hobbit' and the 'Lord of The Rings' books again, since the movie is out (I won't take my kids to see the movie until they've read the Hobbit and the first of LOTR, so it'll be a few more weeks before we go...)

Where, oh where does the time go???? Mybe I've changed my mind - this year, for Christmas I want Time... ;0)

Interesting,Pillars of the Earth is one of my faves,too.Excellent Historical fiction.Brother Cadfael mysteries by Ellis Peters take place in the same time period and follow Englands history from the early 1100's to about 1170,the same timeline that Ken Follett followed in Pillars.If you enjoyed it,check out Bro.Cadfael mysteries.
