Finished: The Pact (Picoult). As in, suicide pact. Sad, but compelling story. Finally, I made it back to current day times, or close enough. I haven't read a "current" book since January! A story about two teenagers in love who made a suicide pact, or did they? Lots of twists and turns! However, while I was reading, I determined that I don't see any reason that this author, Jodi Picoult, should be on the top 100 list any more than some of my favorites who aren't, like Harlen Coben, Lisa Gardner or Michael Crichton. All good authors who tell page-turning stories. So, when I make MY top 100 authors list, which I will invariably do when I'm done with all this reading...they'll be on it.     :-)
