Read any good books lately?

NewlyMrsM.

I used to love reading when i was a kid.  I literally would stay up all night reading and be late for school the next day.  I loved the book fairs, and remember the Book it campaign from Pizza Hut?  What a great way to encourage children to read.

Anyway somehow or another I stopped reading and would like to start again.  My dh always falls asleep before me and I can never all asleep until I'm basically exhausted so I figure maybe if I start reading again it will help me go to sleep and bring back something I used to love.

Any good book recommendations?  Anything anyone's reading currently they may suggest? 

I'd go to the Book club board but I wanted to see what my fellow CF Nesties are reading first.:)

First of all, I have always loved to read but have had no time lately.

Second of all, OMG I LOVED BOOK IT! It was so great to get your star on your button

I LOVE Stuart Woods. He is my favorite author. I have almost all of his books so come over and borrow! Also, the Memory Keeper's Daughter was a great book. I read it last summer along with another book about Bees. I am going to Border's sometime this week because I have a gift card.

Let me know what the nesties are reading!

I love chick-lit... very easy reading.  My favorite author is Sophia Kinsella.  She has a series of books, Shopaholic, which are great, IMO.  She also has a few other books which are all very good.  I usually enjoy reading in bed, right before falling asleep.  However, we don't have any lamps in the room, and DH hates having the lights on... so I am a bit behind on my reading as well.  But we just found the perfect lamps, so I'll be catching up soon!  Happy reading!

My MIL and SIL said Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand was a good book.  I haven't read it though.  I just ordered  Tribute by Nora Roberts today.  I read some great reviews.

I read all of the books in David Pelzer's "A Child Called It" series. True stories, so often heartbreaking, but the books were great. They really open up your eyes about child abuse. I also just finished reading "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. This book is about a young girl who was murdered, but her family doesn't know how it happend - she watches from heaven as they all figure out what happened to her. Let's see....I also love Mitch Albom's books - "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," "For One More Day," "Tuesdays with Morrie." All very good books.

 Hope this helps! We should start our own CLF book club - what do you think????

I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (author of the Kite Runner).  It was a great book and I highly recommend it.  I couldn't put it down!

I'd be up for a CFL book club!

 Just read Flies on the Butter by Denise Hildreth.  She is an amazing author.  My favorites of hers are the Savannah books.

I love the idea of a CFL book club! Who wants to pick the first book?

I also love Sophie Kinsella...I usually get books from the library but I own a bunch of her Shopaholic books. They are so fun. I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love right now, picked it up at the airport a couple weeks ago. It's good, although it's not as much of a page-turner IMHO.

I'm currently reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown and it is great so far!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of a book club! I just read The Swallows of Kabul by Yamina Khadra and it was great. I read it in 1 day and I am very slow reader! Highly recommend it. I am dying to read A Thousand Splendid Suns. Would anyone else be interested in making that our first book? I think a PP already read it, but that would just make her ahead of the game!

I'm so out of the loop.  What kind of author is Stuart Woods?  I'll def take you up on that next time I come over. 

Let me know when you're going to Borders.  Maybe you can help me pick a book out.  So many suggestions from the Nesties I don't know what to pick.

I read Anthem in either high school or early college.  I really like her writing style and the way she makes you look at the bad things about putting we before I.  Its not so popular but it shows another side to things.  I love those philosophical books.

NewlyMrsM.

There's so many books to choose from!  I love the idea of a book club.  What book should we read first?  I say something entertaining but profound, that really makes you think. 

I can't make a suggestion because I haven't read anything in forever!  I'm going to do a bit of research and I'll come back with a suggestion to add to the mix.

MegaP

I like the idea of a book club too.  I have no idea waht to read though.  I would suggest Tribute only b.c I just ordered it!
