[...] (part 2)”? Back in June, Marie asked us about the most popular book in our LT libraries. Here’s my answer to that question. And, five months later, my answer remains the same, I still haven’t read [...]

Haha! Now I have that song running through my head. The last time it was stuck there, it wouldn’t go away for days. Like for you, I may take a closer look at a book that I have heard so much about, but ultimately, the reason I decide to read a book is because it interests me somehow.

I love Wicked. As soon as I saw the lyrics I was singing along! I still haven’t read the book, but the show is one of my favorites.

Literate Housewife and CML – OK, I’ve added _Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time_ to my wish list … thanks for the strong recommendation!

Bookroomreviews – the soundtrack is wonderful! Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel have voices that pull you in. (and the lyrics are clever and scathing!)

Tasses – I loved the musical (liked the book, but a bit too political for me at the time). I hope the tune isn’t still running around your head!

Kegsoccer – when I heard Gregory Maguire read from _What the Dickens_ he was asked by an audience member about the suggested age range for that book. He indicated that he was hoping it had cross-over appeal (children and adults), much like J. K. Rowlings books.

I remember turning my nose up at the harry potter books back in high school. To me, they were children’s books. But my mom had me watch the first two movies with my younger sister and I was hooked! It’s really surprising how many the books appeal to.

I loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In fact, it was one of the first just-for-pleasure books I read after finishing school and it reignited my love for reading. I haven’t read the Harry Potter books so can’t comment on them. All of my children read them.

I don’t own the Harry Potter books so that is my number one not read book. I enjoyed your song lyrics immensely:)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is wonderful! I really enjoyed it and Mark Haddon’s follow up, A Spot of Bother.

The Harry Potter series are the most popular books I own, but I just can’t bring myself to read them. I was hoping that when my daughters are old enough we’d read them together, but that didn’t work out in your situation. Maybe I’ll break down and read them on my own someday.
