    I am reading now The Michael Jackson Tapes.

    I purchased it several months ago but I haven't had the courage to read it.It is very emotion consuming

    And for the rest I love classics
    Lev Tolstoi - Ana Karenina
    Margaret Mitchell - Gone With The Wind
    I am going to say something I have never said before and this is the truth.I have no reason to lie to you and God knows I am telling the truth.I think all my success and fame and I have wanted it, I have wanted it because I wanted to be loved.That's all.That's the real truth.

    I'm reading "What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw" - Agatha Christie right now. Love the movie and thought it was time to read the original!

    I just finished reading Near to the Wild Heart (Perto do Coração Selvagem) by Clarice Lispector this past week. A few weeks before I had read The Girl With Glass Feet by Ali Shaw. I'm currently reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.

    Love You more than words can say...

    I had since gone back to reading V.C. Andrews series Flowers In The Attic again. I think that is the best series I had ever read and I really can't seem to get enough of reading them. My book Flowers In The Attic alone had to be replace 3 or 4 times cause I had read it so much. I am a big V.C. Andrews fan I have nearly all of her books. Another book of hers that I am also reading is Daughter of Darkness. Which is her vampire story.

    My favourite books are the ones in the Harry Potter series, I think they're brilliant.

    Currently I'm reading Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Seems good so far.

    Same here! It always amazes me how Rowling managed to create such a world.. I could read these books forever, love them!

    Other books I enjoy are Agatha Christie's novels and Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird.
