to those of you who read and enjoyed the kite runner -- khaled hosseini came out with a new novel, called a thousand splendid suns. i don't know if it's as good, but i guess i'll see.

irrelevant note: there are a few books, not chick lit but definitely aimed toward a female audience, repeated often in this thread that definitely sound alike to me: the time traveler's wife, the memory keeper's daughter, and my sister's keeper.

my sister's keeper is interesting, but definitely not in the same league as the two other books you mentioned.

thanks for the heads up, that means i am getting the new book over the weekend, hope its as good as the kite runner!

wood!

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque...
I thought it would be such a boring book, but since it's my assignment in English Class I had to read it....
I was totally wrong about it being boring, this has to be one of the best book I have ever read.

Ahh, I really like this one. For some reason, I always go back to re-read the last bit, Hajime's conversation with his wife, Yukiko.

Finished it a couple days ago, and I LOVED it. His books always leave me wondering...always feels so unfinished. I have so many questions still but no answers!

Uh i don't read at all...
(i have to read my notes for my final tonight!!)

Aniways, one book that is a AWESOME sleep pill is Prince of Thieves.
It's set in Boston (where i live).. but it's not the BEST book in the world.
Uh.. it's ok, and interesting i guess..

I'm just weird. Whenever i open a book, i get drowsy. is that bad?

Finished 'Just listen' by Sarah Dessen and 'New Moon' by Sephanie Meyer. 'Just Listen' was alright, 'New Moon' was good but not as great the first book 'Twilight'. I'm dying to read something as good as 'Twilight'. Anyone want to recommend me a Chic-lit? XD

i just finished Hatchet.
i know it's a little kids book but i heard it was good so i got it at the good will for a dollar.
and i did enjoy it. it's better than any "chick book".

am i the only girl that thinks books geared towards teenage girls are boring?

And I wish that we had never talked,
Our hips said it all..

Most definitely not. There are good classic YA books, but I'm just usually not into them.
Give me Fyodor Dostoevsky over Stephenie Meyer any day of the week.
