Do you read anything other than the MFP boards?

    I am 2/3 of the way through Girl Gone. It's great so far. I also read recently The Help. I just finished The Bridges of Madison County, but it wasn't my favorite.

    Anything by Joshilyn Jackson. Gods in Alabama, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, and A Grown Up Kind of Pretty are the ones I've read so far and they are great!

    I really enjoyed the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo books, The Kite Runner & A Thousand Splendid Suns. I wouldn't normally read these books but they were recommended to me & I couldn't put them down.

    All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy - Western type novel. You've probably seen the movie, but the book is better.

    Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy - Late Victorian novel which is atypical of the era

    Tropic of Orange by Karen Tei Yamas hi ta (The last name has spaces because MFP censors the word s-h-i-t even when a part of somebody's last name) - Magical realism novel that explores racial/class differences

    Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston - One of my very favorite African American novels

    This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald - A Fitzgerald book not named Gatsby that every American should read. (For the record, every American should also read Gatsby, and most who completed reading assignments in high school have.)



    Wind Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint Exupery - A true story of a pilot who survived a plane crash in the North African desert. The author also wrote The Little Prince which every parent should read to their child.

    Ok, got one picked out, but making sure no one's read it yet. We shall see.


    Thanks for all the suggestions! I wish I had more time to lounge around and read all these good books. It wouldn't be too shabby! :wink:
