Read any good books lately?

My favourite book is 'Mamma Day' by Gloria Naylor. It a book I always pick up to re-read when i'm feeling a bit down. It's a love story, family saga and a tale of the supernatural all rolled into one. It's really funny and you can tell that the author is a 'people watcher' by some of the comments she makes. It's a tale about two very different lands, the modern world and the cut off somewhat old fashioned island of Willow Springs and it's inhabitants. The story is told by three people the general narrator, Mama Day's great niece Ophelia, and her love interest George. It sounds complicated but once you get into it you might just find that it's the best thing you've ever read - I did.

I am currently reading "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaimon. It's kind of fantasy I guess you could say. The story is based on old African folklore, but made modern. I'm about halfway through the book at this point and it's pretty good.

I recommend "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Nefeigger, "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, "A Home At The End of the World" by Michael Cunningham, and "Running with Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs

Have you read the "Hyperion" series by Dan Simmons? Those are some of my favorite books.

i have a few suggestions...
white fang by jack london
call of the wild by jack london
all but my life by gerda wiessman klien
secret life of bees by (i might have author name wrong) sue monk kidd.
lord of the rings by jrr tolkin
any books by tamora pierce (song of the lioness quartet and the immortals series are my favorites)

I love James Pattersen. He is my favorite. If you buy any of his books over the last couple years, you will love them all.

I am reading "Little Children" by Tom Perrotta. It's about catty suburban Moms. They made a movie about it starring Kate Winslet. It's pretty good so far-- I'm only on chapter 2 but it's holding my interest.

I have the same problem while choosing books at the libraray - i do hope i get some of the ones ppl have recommended in here:)
You might want to try some of these: -

Eleven minutes - by paulo coelho
Tell me your dreams - by sidney sheldon
The eleventh commandment - by jeffery archer
Harry potter series

Well these are some of my very favorite novels .Have you read any? Currently i'm on to a book by an indian author called - One night at a call centre - it's ok so far but nothing great.

Well, I've just finished 'Lili' by Annie Wang. It was quite enjoyable, I can recommend it if you like books about China.

Working at a middle school library, I tend to read young adult books. If these are you things, I can recommend "Uglies" and "Pretties" by Scott Westerfeld. There is a third book in the series I haven't read yet but I want to read it.

If you don't mind a book for even younger readers, I just read "Frindle" by Andrew Clements. This book can be read in a short time but I really enjoyed it.

I read a wonderful book called Beneath a Marble Sky, a historical fiction about the building of the Taj Mahal. Awesome story. Also just finished an autobiography about a woman who served as a WAAC in the war and fought to obtain veterans rights after she was crippled, called Beyond Dancing.

Right now i am reading "one fine day in the middle of the night", by Christopher Brookmyre...a british author. If you like sarcastic black humor then this is is your book and your author. He's funny, even though he can be explicit and brutal, but you really laugh a lot. I recommend it.
