    I'm on Goodreads too - Ceanne. So many great books suggested here. My favorites are:

    - Dan Brown: The Lost Symbol was my favorite
    - Diana Gabaldon: Outlander series. The first book - Outlander is a bit hard to get into but after the first 50 pages or so you get hooked.
    - I Know This Much is True is my favoirte book of all time - to me it was just a great story
    - Janet Evanovich - she's hilarious!


    MFP Bookclub anyone??

    Just read 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn, it was very good.

    And anything by Harlan Coben, especially the Myron Bolitar series.

    Gone Girl was going to be my suggestion, as well! I love all three of Gillian Flynn's novels - the other two are "Sharp Objects" and "Dark Places". All very creepy but funny and plot-driven.

    The best book I read this summer was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

    If you are open to trying a decent vampire series, might I suggest the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward.
    Moving away from the more traditional vampire story, it has action, romance, sex and lots of twists and turns.
    I have recommended this series to a lot of my friends and they are all hooked and big fans of the Brothers.
    Book 1 is Dark Lover. You will not be disappointed lol

    I see I am not alone but...I just read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Loved it. I breezed through it in 2 days. Couldn't put it down! It's sort of a murder mystery...? It's actually a hard book to describe without giving too much away, and i recommend not reading too much about it, for fear of spoilers (I have seen the big twists in the book completed spoiled in reviews!)

    Another fun and quirky one - Gil's All Fright Diner (vampire, werewolf and some zombies)
    The Help (even if you watched the movie)
    Or how about some classics? My favorite all time ever book is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, or In Cold Blood by her friend Truman Capote.

    I found "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver and "Pure" by Julianna Baggott to be as enjoyable as the Hunger Games Trilogy. They are also both the first of trilogies about post-apocalyptic young adults.

    Currently i am on the 3rd book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. They are great. Pioneer Woman is a great book as well. I highly recommend it. I enjoyed Hunger games and the 50 books as well.

    Currently i am on the 3rd book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.

    I alternated between loving and hating these. Sometimes the characters made me soooo mad!

    My newest love is John Green. I just finished "Will Grayson, Will Grayson". So good! YA books but so, so awesome!

    Also, "God-Shaped Hole" by Tiffanie DeBartolo and "Kings of Colorado" by David E. Hilton.

    If you like coroner/mystery/CSI sorts of stories, Patricia Cornwell is a great author. For something a bit more current/philosophical, I really loved The Elegance of the Hedgehog.

    The Poisonwood Bible
    A Complicated Kindness
    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    The Girl who Played with Fire
    The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

    the last 3 are a trilogy and the first book is a bit hard to get into, but once you pass the first 100 or so pages it's AMAZING!

    thanks. I did see and enjoyed the movie Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and heard the book was way better.
    I will read the other 2 from the trilogy, wonder if i should read the dragon tattoo since i only saw the movie. ???

    The movie didn't do the book enough justice (although some of the characters were very well portrayed!) so definitely read it!

    And while I'm posting again I'll add one more - The Time Travelers Wife
