    Thumbs up

    Lise,

    Gregory Peck played the perfect Atticus. Love the movie as much as the book.

    No I have not read "One Hundred Years of Solitude." I checked it out at amazon and read what others thought about it. It sounds very very detailed. And everyone gave it high marks. I will have to read it. I will save it for my summer break. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm always looking for my next book.

    books

    Anything by Bill Bryson

    Anything by Carl Hiasson (Skinny Dip). Mostly with an anti-development theme in South Florida - think the Everglades with condos.

    Anything by Christopher Buckley (esp Little Green Men & Thank You for Smoking.) Son of William F., extremely intelligent writing, and with a welcome irreverence.

    In fact, all of these authors are irreverent. Not as much as Hunter S. Thompson but they are guaranteed to have you have you laughing out loud.

    Mostly I do books on tape from the library, and listen in the car, or on my walkman at the gym. They really make the miles go faster. My library has a pretty good selection, and can get anything in two counties. I have a "wish list" on-line with them, and when I"m ready for the next book, I order it, and they call me when it comes in - usually in a couple days. So convenient.
