Susan,
I agree, Nicholas Sparks has an amazing writing style. Another one of his books that you will enjoy is Three Weeks With My Brother. I had put it off for a long time because I felt it was going to be more of a bio instead of a sensitive novel. Was I surprised. He writes this bio with the same sensitivity as he writes his novels. I know you will find out that he not just a great author but is also amazing father, husband and brother.
I have finished the bio's for Hillary (a driven lady) and McCain (powerful) and have now started on Obama. With only 19 days left of school, I expect to spend a lot of time on my porch, with a book in one hand and a glass of iced tea in the other. Glad to have you share your interest in reading on the board.
