"I Capture the Castle" is beautiful and I think it's a story for all ages, even if the protagonist is a teenager herself-- it makes you want to keep a journal like mad. I'm so glad you liked "The Time-Traveler's Wife"! It's one of my favorite books in the world. "Twilight"... oh, I will probably be crucified in this thread, but I hated it so much. Hate, fiery hate.<br /><br />(I don't blame you for loving Agatha Christie.
