    Play Dolores Claiborne
    My Book Crush: I remember the first time I listened to Dolores Claiborne by Steven King. It's so awesome, and the person who reads it is spot on. I could not get enough. Just as good is Misery. They were my first audiobooks and from then on I was hooked. (Corey)

    Play Jane Eyre
    My Book Crush: When reading Jane Eyre in the middle of the night, I hid in the bathroom so I could read by light. I was at the part where Jane has gone upstairs once and for all to find Grace Poole - stairs are dark, maniacal screaming is heard... I'm lost to the world around me, deeply absorbed in Jane's safety and mystery, when the bathroom door suddenly opens. My screams woke up everyone in the house! My mother stood there in total shock. Pretty funny now, back then it was "you're busted". (Marcia)
