| What are you Reading? I am trying to finish "The Bad Place" by Dean Koontz and I am having a really hard time getting into this story. I was wondering what others are reading and can you recommend a really good book? |

| My favorite book of ALL TIME is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It is a classic. He is such a vivid storyteller. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone interested in a great story. The first chapter is rather tough to get through, but please don't judge the whole book by the first chapter. Almost the entire first chapter is imagery. But, get pasts the first chapter and into the heart of the story, and it is definately a page-turner. I am about to start reading A Million Little Pieces. I know it is not entirely "true" like the author made it out to be, but my sister-in-law is currently reading it and she can't put it down. She said it is incredible. I can't wait to read it! |

| devoted to Lucy! Depends on what kind of stuff you like to read. I like anything by Nora Roberts, Karin Slaughter, If you want something true AND that'll scare you silly, read "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote.

| Right now I am starting to read Ricochet by Sandra Brown. She is a fantastic writer and I would recommend most of her books. I am also on book 12 of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. It is called Twelve Sharp. I would recommend you read all of them they are funny and entertaining.

| I just finished Your Big Break. It was very easy and fun to read. I only read for entertainment and mainly chick lit. Some authors/books I've loved: Sophie Kinsella(Shopaholic Series) Jodi Picoult(The Pact, My Sisters Keeper...all her books are great) Phillipa Gregory The Time Travelers Wife Memoirs Of A Geisha Something Borrowed Something Blue Devil Wears Prada Nanny Diaries Mr. Maybe My shelf in the closet is PACKED with books. I'd have to go through it if you were looking for more serious reading suggestions. I LOVE reading, it's so much better than watching t.v.

| Ok, this is probably not what you were looking for. But I am trying to read The New Complete Yorkshire Terrier by Joan B. Gordon. Now it will probably take my a good year to complete it. Reading puts me right to sleep, I am lucky to make it through a paragraph before I am out like a light. Typically my husband reads to me at night. Works great then I just ask him what happened and that way I can get through a book way quicker. I must admit he does pick the reading material. I figured I would be pushing my luck if I asked him to read this book to me at night
