I need some new book ideas...I am a true bookworm. Stephen King is my favorite author, dont care much for Koontz, (other than the Odd Thomas books), Lately, I have been reading Amy Tan (Chinese culture is fascinating to me), recently finished "the Terror" by Dan Simmons (awesome), and Thirteen Moons (I forgot the author, its the guy that wrote "Cold Mountain")....
Any suggestions for when I hit the library tomorrow??
Thanks

I read pretty much anything that is not nailed down!! I cannot read the same book twice because I know what the next word is going to be!!!

My neighbor just gave me some books (shes like me so we switch) James Grippando is the author he wrote Hear no Evil and that was great! So i'm looking forward to reading these two......Got the Look and When darkness falls!

Good luck on your quest for great reading material! I go to several different libraries and most of the goodwills around here to find books.

I am reading "The Doctors Wife" - picked it up yesterday at Wal-Mart. I can not fall asleep without reading SOMETHING. This book seems to be a mystery-type novel. So far, it's good.
I finished Stephen Kings "Lisey's Story" a week or so ago. I liked it. The reviews were mixed on it. But after that man has written so many books, not every single one is going to be a home run. I liked some of his books that others didnt rate so high.
I also just finished Janet Evanovichs "Plum Lovin'". It was good. Too short! I love her books so much and am always sad when they end and cant wait for the next. This one I plowed thru within hours.

I also enjoy Janet Evanovich's series - mysteries with a humorous twist.

Not that you'll want to read this one...but I am reading it for work: Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton. It's about how to maximize people's strengths, rather than focusing on their weaknesses....interesting, huh? LOL

I just finished Shiver by Lisa Jackson and The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. 1st one is a good murder mystery and 2nd one - well, it's just one of those "have to" reads...

I haven't read anything really GREAT in a long time. I just read The Secret a couple weeks ago and it didn't blow me away like i hoped.

I need some thought provoking, inspiring reads! Any ideas?

Just recently finished A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. This is a great book if you enjoy reading educational books. He is a great author! I've read everything that he's written and love them all He also wrote A Walk in the Woods, which was a BestSeller! I wish that I had more time to read - I've got a baby instead

My most recent books are "All Souls" by Michael MacDonald, which was very good; "Nineteen Minutes"by Jodi Piccoult, good, not great; "Baby Love" by Rebecca Walker, okay; "The Birthday Party" by Stanley Alpert, which was very good; "Family Tree" by Barbara Delinsky, pretty good; "The God of Animals" by Aryn Kyle, very, very good; "Missing Mom" by Joyce Carol Oates, which was good.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm starting to see why I'm not getting enough sleep!

I love Stephen King. I joined his bookclub and they send me his new books when they come out. Has anyone read Stepped on a crack? I walk by it all the time but haven`t bought it yet.

If you like animals Marley and Me is a must read. I also just finished A Three Dog Life, it was good but not at all what I expected.

My freind just gave me Marley and Me. I love animals i`ll have to read it. Thanks

Was Walk in the Woods the one about the Appalaichan Trail? If so, I really liked it, I could see myself walking with him, it was really great.


I like a book that makes me think, think about things a different way, question what I already think I understand, that sort of thing. ANd I like anything Stephen King.

I Read The Memory's Keepers Daughter - It Kept My Interest But I Was Disappointed In The Ending.

I just finished The Thirteenth Tale and it was pretty good.
I am now going to start Scattered Leaves which it the sequel to Broken Flower which was just OK.

I have The Memory Keeper's Daughter to read after that long with 3 other books i got from the library today.

I also recommend Snow Flower and The Secret Fan and it was good.
