I just finished a good book, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. It's part love story, part historical fiction set in Depression era America in a circus of all places, and it also gives you a glimpse into what it's like to grow old. It was a unique book, I didn't think I cared two hoots about circus life. I'd recommend it. 
I'm also a nerd because I thought this little article was interesting about Deja Vu.

Thanks for the book recommendation-I LOVE hearing about good books to read as I am a huge nerd. I need to check out that owen meany book, too, it sounds like.
heather - you told me about it when you started reading. i've got it in my stack. all of these great suggestions are awesome. i just hope i can get through twilight in time to read water for elephants before i need to return it. who has time for tv when we've got good books & blogging & journaling projects to do?!? ahhhh
That book is next on my dresser to read. It is taking me a while to get through The Emperor of Ocean Park. I just read the blogs and make comments and it keeps me busy. Don't know how you have time to post but keep it up because it is very enjoyable.
Hurray, I just checked this one out from the library. Now I am even more excited to read it.
I'm reading The Road next...it's for book club, but then i'm all over Owen Meany. Then we can discuss away.
hayley, i'm about to start twilight, now that i've finished running the history of love over and over and over in my head...well,not finished. darn, now i started again. well, on to twilight anyway.
Heather, are you officially a circus freak now? I love that term, circus freak. I also like carnies.
