Thanks for accepting my friend request! If you have any good books to recommend, send them my way :D
Lana says:

P.S Have you started The Water is Wide? and how is it so far? I am thinking of buying this one myself. Thanks
Lana says:

Hi Sara. Thanks for the recommendation. I am currently reading Nineteen Minutes and am enjoying this book very much. Enjoy your week.
Lana says:

I've only read The Prince of Tides. However, I have seen a couple of other movies based on his books. The Water is Wide and The Great Santini. Both movies were great and I think you will enjoy the books. The Wateri s Wide is actually based on his life, when he taught for a poor black community across the river in Savannah. I've never read the book, but the movie was quite emotional. Give it a try. I think it's available at chapters. I just checked their stock online. Enjoy.
Todd Imrie says:

I've read " The Prince of Tides ", as you have; I was impressed with his use of language. I have also read " The Lords of Discipline "; it is a bit more of a thriller with its' inspiration being his years at a military academy down south; it is a fairly effective thriller at that with a strong mystery tone to it as well.
Lana says:

Thanks for the recommendation of Beach Music. I have read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. I love Pat Conroy, He has a way with words. Thanks again
