I am not a big romance reader and I have never read/seen The Bridges of Madison County OR the Titanic! The Outlander books are historical fiction. Substance and passion. Hot Highland Hero, and a lost damsel with a brain. Very Very good.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10749991154579950310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10718822.post-188571393581228882009-02-04T10:54:00.000-06:002009-02-04T10:54:00.000-06:00I'm in your camp with that one Patsy, I never did ...I'm in your camp with that one Patsy, I never did get all this silliness with vampires and I won't even begin with my take on teens' fantazising about them.<BR/>I agree with lilie about Wild Swans, it is absolutely spellbinding, I shall read it again, perhaps during March break. I too enjoyed Follet's Pillars of the Earth and was thrilled when his World Without End came out. It picks up the Pillars story two hundred years later, exceptional reads both books. <BR/>Continued good recovery Patsy, so glad you are back blogging.<BR/><BR/><BR/>ConnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10718822.post-3291963045384891892009-02-04T08:34:00.000-06:002009-02-04T08:34:00.000-06:00I agree with your assessment of Twilight.

A couple of books I recently read and enjoyed are: Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and Wild Swans, by Jung Chang. The last book is a true story about three generations of VERY STRONG, amazing women, who lived through the struggles of China from the period of War Lords to the present. It was very informative, well written, and I so admired the strength and integrity of these women. I think it would appeal to you. Pillars of the Earth is all fiction, but intriguing and well-written as well. LOTS of adventure! I did not EXPECT to like it, thinking it dealt with the Middle Ages, but it was a birthday gift and I felt obligated. Well, I DID like it, and so did my husband and others I recommended it to.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you are doing so well, and so impressed with your WORLD of magnificent friends!!!!<BR/>Marielilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732940473823399396noreply@blogger.com
