Yesterday afternoon I finished reading the book "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey. I started on Saturday morning on our way down to San Diego and read every spare moment I had so I could be done by today.
This book was chosen by Oprah for her book club. This is the first one of her choices that I have read. Something about it just interested me. But I knew the author was going to be on Orpah today talking about the book so I wanted to be done by then.
I knew my friend Nicole had the book so I called her and asked if I could borrow it. She said yes but had to warn me that the language was pretty bad, which it sure was. For those of you who have not read it, it is a true story about the author's time in drug rehab. It was very raw and detailed and taught me things I never knew about this world of drug addiction.
I only cried on one part when it talked about what happened to Lilly at the end but I do not want to give anything away...
I usually read Christian books and this was so different because he does not believe in God. This book was not something I would normally read but it is good to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone every once in awhile. Next though I think I will go back in to my comfort zone and read "Sisterchick's Down Under"...it is more up my alley...

Finished already?! :o) Did you like it though? I also cried only once and at the same spot. I was SO SAD!
Let me know what you think about the Sisterchicks book. I'm going to start "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" by Terry Ryan. I really want to see the movie so I'm going to read the book first.
Wasn't Top Model great?! And did you watch The Apprentice last nite?!
