Longest book read: 912 pages...The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest (Large Print) by Steig Larsson.

Oldest book read: 1911 The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Newest book read: 2011 Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling.

Biggest waste of time: Behind the Bell by Dustin Diamond.

Favorites: On Writing by Stephen King

                  The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

                  The Year of Living Biblically by A. J. Jacobs
