I just finished! Now it's your turn to pick up The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It is an amazing story set in Germany during the heart wrenching reign of Hitler. It is a story about the Jews, certainly, but surprisingly to me it was so much more. My heart was easily bound to these unforgettable characters. I felt like I was walking the streets of Molching with them. This is when I know a book is in my heart to stay.
"A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. " ~William Styron, interview, Writers at Work, 1958
Read this one. You'll be better for it.

Yeah. Just saw your comment on mine. Wasn't that an incredible story? I sobbed, sobbed, sobbed during the entire last section and at many times throughout. So creative.
I will have to go check this one out! I have been looking for something good to occupy my nightly before-bed reading time as I wait for the next Twilight book!!
