I read quite a bit and need some new ideas?!? Maybe something motivational/supportive or just a good read?

I've been reading One Small Step Can Change Your Life, the Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer.
Interesting, illuminating read.
I actually changed my ticker because of it.
It used to be set on my long term goal of 134.
Then, reading the book, I reset my ticker to my short term goal of 165. And will reset it to the next small goal after that I get closer to 165.
I love the book.0 -

I read a lot as well...I tend to gravitate towards book series because I like to follow a long storyline. The books mentioned below are my favorite. Since I go through books so quickly I will go to my local library and check out about 7 - 10 books every few weeks. I will grab the ones recommended by staff or just take a few off shelves in different areas. I will read them all, putting aside early the ones I don't really like. Once I have finished them I will return and get a few more. I'm also a kid at heart and can never read Harry Potter enough (or similar books) so I've included them below as well.
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
World without End by Ken Follett
Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King includes:
- The Gunslinger
- The Drawing of the Three
- The Waste Lands
- The Wizard and Glass
- Wolves of Calla
- Song of Susannah
- The Dark Tower
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Eragon series by Christopher Paolini0 -
I just finished "The Jane Austen Book Club" and enjoyed it very much!0
-
I'm reading a book called The House of Mondavi, it's GREAT!0
-
:happy: I just finished Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl and Twilight (this one on audio book) of which were both done during cardio only sessions.
I just started Cross Country by James Patterson and at home I'm browsing the Hungry Girl book I got w/recipes and tips:happy:0 -
I am reading "A Nation of Wimps" The high cost of invasive parenting. An eye opener if you have children.0

i think wicked is a really great book. it is a completely different perspective of the life of the wicked witch. i have read it once and i am reading it again because i discovered 2 additional books in the series!
i also read another book by gregory maguire called confessions of an ugly stepsister - which of course is relative to the cinderella story. completely different perspective there too. different than wicked in that wicked goes from the witch's birth to her death and stepsister is just pre-teen to teen years. less detail but just as addicting.0 -

Oh, I gorgot the books I haven't started yet and won't until vacation in Curacao mid-June, Red Carpet Suicide by Perez Hilton and The Girls Next Door (playboy chicks). Usually my beach reads are entertainment driven so I don't enter any surreal depression while vacationing:laugh: but last year was Losing it by Valerie Bertenelli (sp) which was really good, no depression, amazed she did so many drugs here I thought I had been the lone ranger :laugh:0
