I LOVE reading and want a good book to read.
Anyone know of a really good book, the kind you can't put down?

Re: Can anyone recommend a REALLY good Book??
I love to read as well but please define "a really good book"
I know a few people who think that Danille Steel writes "really good books". Can't say I agree
What kind of style do you like?
Are you looking for a light beach read or more serious reading like historic fiction may be?

I really love books by Ann-Marie MacDonald. I read Fall on your Knees and The Way the Crow Flies.
I think she has another book -- Goodnight Desdemona -- and I want to read that also.
She is quirky, has a great sense of humor, but the books are pretty intense.

Re: Can anyone recommend a REALLY good Book??
try reading any of jodi picoult books, they are very intense reading, I am reading keeping faith right now, her topics are different, and a different kind of book & author is dean koonz, if you like suspense with a bit of supernatural.

I like just about everything. I am looking for something you had read that you thought was so good that you didn't want to put the book down.
No Danielle Steel though...

Re: Can anyone recommend a REALLY good Book??
I agree with A Prayer for Owen Meany
also
Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates by Tom Robbins. I love anything by tom robbins, but half asleep in frog pajamas is my least favorite.
I like Jitterbug Perfume, Still Life with Woodpecker, Another Roadside Attraction, Even Cowgirls Get the Blue and what's it called, the one with the veils, that was a good one.
I'm a HUGE Tom Robbins fan.
I also like the Harry Potter Series (addictive!)

Stolen Lives by Malika Oufkir. It's a true story and I found it riveting.

JAMES PATTERSON IS A GREAT AUTHOR-EASY READ AND VERY ENTERTAINING. I JUST FINISHED READING HIS NEW THRILLER BEACH HOUSE.. I LOVE IT..
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MURDER MYSTERIES HE IS THE WAY TO GO.. START READING THE LINDSAY BOXER SERIES. IT STARTS WITH 1ST TO DIE, 2ND CHANCE 3RD DEDREE, 4TH OF JULY AND THE 5TH HORSEMAN.. EXCELLENT SERIES!!

I second this a 110%. It is a very good book. My firnds ask to borrow it and I told them no I would rather buy them one. I cannot part with this book.

Re: Can anyone recommend a REALLY good Book??
I liked Memoirs of a Geisha- much better than the movie- I read the book first- then saw the movie- I am glad I did it in that order!
Wicked is also very good- nothing like the musical- although the musical was awesome. Wicked isn't the easiest read, though. It's harder than you think it would be.

Re: Can anyone recommend a REALLY good Book??
Hi!
I LOVED a book called She's Come Undone, by Wally Lamb. I read it years ago but it is still a favorite. And also The Lovely Bones is a GREAT book. I'm sure you've read it, but I am also a fan of Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger.
If you read them let me know what you think. :)
