Harry Potter books will always be my favorites but I love to read, my second/third/fourth favorites change constantly.

Also any of Martina Cole's books I read them over & over.

I have a Child Called It somewhere. Been years since I read it.

Actually, that reminds me Josy, did you hear/read the book by Dave Pelzers brother (I think it was?). Basically his own account saying all Dave wrote was crap and their family was never that way and Dave wasn't mistreated? It struck me as wanting in on his success and bitterness

I don't know. Half of those 'Bad childhood books' were just to cash in on the popularity of the times. It seems that everybody had a bad childhood and wrote about it.

I believe some of them did have these harsh childhoods, but so many are complete fabrications.

True. Loads came out all at once. They're still popping up to pull at the heart. But I'm not one to say if it's truth or not. Who can really?

I heard he was writing a book, but not what it was about, after reading the 3 by Dave Pelzer, I would think his brother was talking crap, surely you couldnt make up the kind of stuff that Dave wrote about.

You'd be suprised what some writers can come up with.

Not that I'm questioning David Pelzer, but others that have written similar stuff to him.
