Marie - Check the list of Books Diesel Has Already Read (see the link on the right). But yes, if you suggest one I've already read, I'll let you know and you can suggest another one.
I feel weird now about suggesting The End of Alice. It's kind of a morbid book and I'm not a morbid person, I'm just interested in all kinds of people.
Either way, I envy you in your quest to read. I haven't made any resolutions, but I should make one to read more than just in those quick 10 minutes before bed.

Hey Diesel,
Have you been yapping anywhere about Eragon? Would love to hear your thoughts. Of course, since it was written after 1937 I am probably not interested in reading it, but I'd love to hear your take.
End of Alice, eh?
p.s. Tell Troy to hang tight. I'm working on it.

Tuesdays With Morrie - by Mitch Albom. Back in Sophmore year of high school it was required by all students to read 2 books over the summer - so at first I picked the shortest. This happened to be one, but it was by far the best book I have ever read. If you have already read Tuesdays With Morrie, then you can ignore this suggestion, but whoever has not read this book, better do so immediately.
For a brief synopsis - Tuesdays With Morrie is a book about a professor who is dying from a terminal illness and his former student who visits him for his "last lessons" in life.

That's a great list! I really enjoyed Haroun and the Sea of Stories, btw. This is a really cool idea.
