    Escape - I just finished it. Look it up on amazon. It's by Carolyn Jessop who escaped from the infamous Colorado City polygamist group. SO GOOD!

    How To Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson - funny, insightful, honest, brutal, depressing.

    Fallen Skies by Phillipa Gregory, author of The Other Boleyn Girl - 500 pages, and I read it in 2 days!
