The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy
"'God shouldn't have let this killing happen. God should have stopped it.'
Starzec gestured at the trees and the forest around them. 'Do you see God? Where is he, you fool?'
Dobry flushed and shook his head. 'I don't know.'
'God didn't come down and kill us. I don't see God shooting children and priests. None of us met God beating up Jews and shoving them into railroad cars. This is men doing the murdering. Talk to men about their evil, kill the evil men, but pray to God. You can't expect God to come down and do our living for us. We have to do that ourselves'" (207).

Harry Potter Series by J K Rowling
(Haven't had a lot of time to read for quite a while with school and work and everything keeping me very busy.)
I started listening to the books on mp3 while I was working to keep me entertained. The books got better and better and I started checking them out and reading them while I wasn't at work. I got so glued to them that I read the last two books within a few days. I have to agree with those that say the books are better than the movies. There is so much left out in the movies and they seem so choppy after reading the books!
My one annoyance with the books is how Harry Potter is always so quick to get angry and bitter. The boy has some issues.
