    Requiem for a Dream is hard work, horrifically depressing but still so worth it, and the film is the best film ever made so watch that too! If you're looking for something much lighter/easier, read the Edge chronicles. Children's books but the illustrations are beautiful and the fantasy world is so detailed and...like well thought out. It seems real :p

    HI.. I just recently read the Hunger Games trilogy as well. I enjoyed them to! If you are into supernatural/vampire type stuff, the Black Dagger Brotherhood series is really good. I also recently read The Help. Great book.. BUT hated the movie! Happy reading :)

    OK...has anyone read 50 Shades of Grey? I have never heard of this book until yesterday...then it seems like it is all that people are talking about. Is it worth the time to read?

    The Sookie Stackhouse series. There have already been so many books written it will keep you satisfied for a while.

    There is a trilogy out - 3rd book still not released. It's called Matched and #2 is called Crossed. It's a totally different type of world in the future like the Hunger Games. Very cool!

    I'm reading The Thirteenth Tale, which is very entertaining. If you want more serious/heavy material, then I loved the memoirs Girl in a Green Sweater, Blue Nights, and Reading Lolita in Tehran. Jodi Picolt's stuff is always good to read. The Passage was supernatural/sci fi and really good, and I can't wait for the sequel 2012 to come out later this year. Gosh, I'm a HUGE book nerd and frequent flyer at the public library. I've got the Hunger Games and Game of Thrones series on my Kindle, but I just haven't started reading them yet.

    I just started reading this for a book club....and the beginning of a book has to catch me right away, with that said Im into chapter 5 and still look for that "catch". :)

    The Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy. It is on the best seller list and they are turning it into a movie. Great read for women :wink:

    You can't go wrong reading "The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. One of the greatest books ever created. Ever.

    the sword of truth series.
    They sound really geeky but they are amazing believe me. The only problem is how long they are and how many books there are but they are worth it. Also if you haven't read Harry Potter read them, they are a definite must read. The uglies, pretties, and specials series is really good as well. I also recommend the host. Their are just to many good books out there! It depends also on which type of genre you like to read.
