just finished Kiterunner (awesome), starting The Help (love it), and next up on my list is a biography by Portia de Rossi about her eating disorder called Unbearable Lightness (will let you know ).
my hub also just read Stolen Life by jaycee dugard in one day (and he hates reading).

Unbearable Lightness = Phenomenal! Could not put it down and would strongly recommend it!

Anything by Christopher Moore, Fluke, Lamb, You Suck.....
They are a bit naughty but I laughed my *kitten* off. They are a quick read but make you laugh out loud.

If you don't mind the f bomb now and then. Most of his books start kind of dry and boring then take a left turn to absurdity.
Has anyone else read him?

i would firstly like to apologize if my book choices sounds beyond lame. haha

last year I read this book: fallen by lauren kate.
i'm currently reading the second book in the series called: torment.

it's on the basis of the twilight saga, but beyond better. It's about angels and demons, but with you're typical story of love.
it's my girly guilty pleasure, i guess you could say.

when i was in high school i read a series of books that i could just not put down.
the author is Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.
her books: in the forests of the night,
then there's demond in my view,
then there's shattered mirror,
then midnight prey.
***all good reads.

Then my last to ultimately favorite books: The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause
and then her other book: Blood and Chocolate.

Like I said before I'm sorry if my choices are utterly lame. haha

oh another decent book is farenheit 451


I LOVED Twilight and must've read them a million times through. Them and Harry Potter. You think I'd like these books you've read?

Some good books I've read recently:

The Help
Room - Emma Donaghue
Unbearable Lightness - Portia De Rossi
Food & Loathing
Book of Negros
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (series of 3 books, all of which are ridiculously good, altho the 1st one does take a bit to get into. so worth it tho!)
And my last suggestion, embarrassing to admit this but as a former fan of the SVH series, I consider Sweet Valley Confidential a must read. Made me feel 13 again

if you like vampires etc try the Necroscope books by Brian Lumley. They're awesome, more factual (well) than teenage anst and love triangles of Twilight. I would recommend them

And the dirk Gently books by Douglas Adams, he also wrote Hitchhikers Guide to teh Galaxy. They're funny books

1. In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto - by Michael Pollan
2. Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating with More Than 75 Recipes - by Mark Bittman (I'm reading it)
3. The Omnivore's Dilemma - by Michael Pollan (trying to get a book on CDs version)

"In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan is a really great read. I also recommend "The Unhealthy Truth" by Robyn O'Brien.

While completely unrelated to nutrition or weight-loss...

I can't say enough about "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. It was one of the best books I've read in a while! It even made me cry...and I am not one to cry at fiction! Don't worry...they were "sad, but happy" tears!

I've read everything written by Nicolas Sparks. Just finished reading "Safe Haven" and it was great. He has also written:

Message in a Bottle
The Notebook
Nights in Rodanthe
A Walk to Remember
A Bend in the Road
The Rescue
The Wedding
The Guardian

and more! If you haven't read him, I highly recommend!
