Ok, I am going to be 40 in a few weeks and I cannot put these books down. I have read and reread and reread them. Is almost 40 to old to be in love with a fictional vampire?

I just read a review of this (in the new Costco magazine, of all places ) Sounds really interesting--was it an uplifting book or depressing?? I don't really know how to explain it. It has depressing and sometimes shocking things in it. But her word usage is, imo, beautiful. I really felt carried away by the words. There is a sadness to the book, but I don't know if I read that in to it because I knew some of her own story and because of the war itself. I wasn't depressed by the book, however. I hope that is somewhat helpful, it seems like convultued answer! I did just get the next one, Fire in the Blood, but I haven't started it yet.

I can't tell you how much I love this thread. I am living vicariously through you all as I have limited time to read right now. I did, however, just read Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. It is such a beautifully written book. I also just read Signed, Mata Hari by Yannick Murphy which was interesting but odd. I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo with my sixth grader. I so love her school. They have read The Odessy and Julius Ceaser so far this year. The real versions, she's 11! We didn't start Shakespeare until high school!
