I have finally begun a book that was recommended to me by my sister and another blogging friend. I don't often read children's books, but this one is quite good so far. The title is The Mysterious Benedict Society. I downloaded a copy from a website where you can "check out" digital audiobooks and then put them on a CD or your MP3 player to listen to.
I am thoroughly enjoying this book. I was afraid it was going to be too silly at first, maybe something like The Phantom Tollbooth
(although this has been one of my favorite books and one I would love to read again) or Alice in Wonderland
(which I 
have NEVER liked, except maybe the part about the Rabbit, who is "late for a very important date"). But I quickly got into this book and I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I can hopefully listen to more. I hope to write a review on it soon.

What about you? Have you read The Mysterious Benedict Society
? Or The Phantom Tollbooth? Or Alice in Wonderland? What did you think of them? Please leave a comment and tell me what older books you have been reading. Perhaps I'll learn of ones I haven't heard of before.

Well, you KNOW this post put a smile on my face! =D Hope you LOVE it!
I haven't read any of those but one book that has been out for years that I recently discovered (and love) is Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth. It's excellent!
