Great Gift books!!! (last lecture included)

Just got back from vacation and read some AMAZING books! Now I'm going to have to buy a few of them as gifts!
The Last Lecture--fantastic book for just about anyone! The ending is especially heart wrenching as he talks about leaving his children.
Don't Bet Against me-- Deanna Favre---great for any packer fan or cancer survivor. Good read for any strong woman.
Nicholas Sparks books---love love love The notebook---book AND movie! I highly recommend it to any hopeless romantic.

The notebook was good. I read the book and then rented the movie. My son was even touched by it and he was over 20.

I love Sparks...but all his books are so tragic!! LOL! I always end up crying.....We watched The Notebook on TV this weekend. It's my husband's favorite movie (Shh! Don't tell anyone!).

Have you read Three Weeks with my Brother by Nicholas Sparks? Now that is a REALLY good book. He mixes the telling of his around-the-world trip with his brother with the telling of his real life- from a boy till now. If you haven't heard of it yet, check it out and read it BUT DON'T READ THE INSIDE COVER!!! DON"T READ ANY REVIEWS!! Just read the book! I didn't know a thing about it, so I was able to feel the emotions just as he was telling them in the book. I can't even say the next thing I wanted to say...just read it.
