3. The Princess Bride by William Goldman
4. Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde

Trouble in Tonka Town? Now that sounds like a page turner. :)
I recognized most of the books on your lists (NONE on the kids list.... but I'm sure that will be changed by about this time next month!), so maybe I'll have to borrow the unfamiliar ones while I'm there! :)

Heather Anne - Oh, you have no idea.
Mom - Borrow away! Does this mean you actually have time to read?!
So sorry T about the facebook thing, though if you think about it you can post a very quick short not thot out little message to a friend and not really waste too much time, that is of course if you've not a pile of messages to read/reply to. Great lists of books...the kids selection is much the same as our top pics!
