I am just finishing up "The Stand" by Mr. King (3rd time) and intend to start the Lemony Snickets "A Series of Unfortunate Events". We got the series (all 11 books) from Ebay for our daughter (they were 1st on her Christmas list) and she has read all 11 books over the holiday break! Which is really an amazing thing as she was in a special reading class because she just didn't "get it". It was really neat to see the light bulb go on over her head last year...she is in 5th grade and is reading at a 9th grade level...
