    I just read water for elephants a few months ago it was good. I was pleasantly surprised I usually dabble in bigoraphys not fictions. I LOVE Angela's ashes, 'tis and teacher man all by Frank McCourt God rest his soul, Night by Eli wiessel (sp) and eat pray love was a good read kinda hard to read at some parts but I did love it all the same. I have also read some of the Chelsea Handler books she is funny and the books are light hearted so they make it fun to read.

    I LOVED the Hunger Games series. I work in a library and read, a lot, but it's hard to recall books on the spot. I am reading Don't Breathe a word by Jennifer McMahon right now, so far it's really good...

    Does it count that I read in front of the football game so that if there is something exciting going on I will see it and be able to cheer right along with my husband? :D

    if you like crime drama/murder mysteries, the Rizzoli & Isles series by Tess Gerritsen and the Bones series by Kathy Reichs are both excellent. Tess Gerritsen also writes some really good medical dramas.

    For fun chick-lit, try the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.

    What do you like?

    If you like scifi/fantasy, check out George RR Martin's Game of Thrones series. I read it (way before it became an HBO series) and it's really, REALLY good.

    Just finished this book! I refuse to watch the HBO series until I finish the other 4.

    Your good to watch the first season since it only covers the first book thats you've already read. Season two won't be out till 2012.

    I have heard of those I was thinking about them I am also going to try and pick up the first Hunger game...I am a girl so I like romances, mystery, basically novels but I like scifi stuff too! Honestly, I kind of like everything as long as it is engaging I can get lost in a book. I just read Water for Elephants it was fantastic.

    Ursula K. LeGuin is awesome, Lord of the Rings, check out some classics! Tennant of Wildfell Hall, Shirley, Frankenstein...
