I was home sick today, and did not even get out bed. Despite owning a television, I am still not used to actually turning it on, so I did not even think to watch Oprah, unfortunately. Instead, I reached for a book that I found laying in a dusty pile at one of our New Jersey offices...The Thorn Birds. I must have already read this book at least 10 times, starting when I was in fifth grade. And every time, I get so sucked in, that I cannot put it down until I have finished the book. Making it the perfect sick in bed kind of reading. It is a classic piece of romantic fiction, with lots of heaving chests and stolen glances; loves lost and unfilled. Of course, I totally love that stuff. Shockingly enough, I am not the most picky of readers — honestly, I will read and enjoy almost book, as long as the author uses punctuation and paragraphs, and as long as it is not fantasy or science fiction. But if you have not read the Thorn Birds, I totally recommend it.
