So which one would you say is your favorite? I'll have to dig it out of one of my 3 boxes and read it Most people who have read lots of her books tend to like "My Sister's Keeper" best, but like I said....I've only read 4 so far so I wouldn't know.

I think I liked "Plain Truth" best. I admire the Amish, so I liked the peek into their lifestyle in that book.

Of Picoults, I've read the 10th Circle, Vanishing Acts, Perfect Match, Salem Falls, Plain Truth, The Pact, and Mercy. I guess after Plain Truth, I probably liked Perfect Match best. It held my interest and the female lead wasn't a wimp.

Memoirs of a Geisha Okay, tell me what type book is this? Romance, suspense, etc?? With several of you mentioning it I"m wondering if I need to run by the library or Books a Million!

Memoirs of a Geisha is considered "historical fiction." There is a love story, but it's much more than that.
