3. Dr. Zhivago – by Boris Pasternak
4. American Psycho – by Brett Easton Ellis
5. Altered States – by Paddy Chayefsky
6. The Shining – by Stephen King
7. Charlotte’s Web – by E.B. White

And the movie I am most looking forward to at the moment? P.S. I Love You, starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. Anyone remember her in “Boys Don’t Cry” or “The Gift”? Not like the girl can’t act. And THIS is the book, by Cecelia Ahern, on which the movie was based. I want this book, too!
