Currently reading The Thorn Birds...I just got it, only a few pages in but so far so good.

Does anyone know of any good, meaningful Non-Fiction that you'd recommend? Thanks .

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

very meaningful and inspiring =)

The World According to Clarkson: Volume 2

It's a collection of the weekly newspaper columns, written by an English journalist called Jeremy Clarkson. He's got a real sarcastic wit, clever, covers a range of things and is pretty well known in Britain for being able to offend lots of people. So I love reading what he writes, of course xD

He also is well known for having a passion for cars and other extreme machines. He's been on jet fighters, aircraft carriers...things like that. And he presents a car show called Top Gear.

I just finished 90 Minutes In Heaven. Not great, but not too bad, either.

I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.

i just finished...
The Time Traveler's Wife <- very moving and intense
The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Nighttime <- crazy book

but gave me so much more insight into autism!
Life of Pi <- wow. what can i say, one of my favorite books now. As I read through it... I wasn't very impressed but I think this is the first time that a final chapter in a book totally enlightened me and changed my view about that book. It's worth reading through.

Sounds good. What genre is it?

Like someone mentioned, it's a chick-lit, a romance novel. If you're a romantic, you'll definitely love this book. I recommend you read it anyhow because this book is just awesome. The characters are so cute together! This is actually the first book that I wanted to read over again. ^^

Re-reading Wuthering Heights (: <33
If you haven't read it, I recommend it wholeheartedly... if you're a girl, that is. :X
&& I think I'll read The Picture of Dorian Gray next... or A Clockwork Orange ^^

Ahhhh, PLEASE read The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's one of my favorite books of all time--sumptuously written, amazing wit, tension, enthralling characters, and a great message. It was one of my 8th grade summer reading books, and I disdained having to read it at the time, but as soon as I got ten pages in, I was hooked.

"Wildwood Dancing" by Juliet Marillier.

I really like fantasy books based around girls. Don't get me wrong, I like the Lord of the Rings books, but when there is a heroin instead of a hero I like it better. I'm almost done with this book and it was so hard to put down though the first couple of chapters weren't all that great. One of the love stories seems really, really underdeveloped but it's a pretty good book.

the best book that I've ever read is Pride and Prejudice....its kinda hard to get into in the beginning but once you get use to the language it is the best book ever.

The book I'm currently reading is Marley and Me...for all the dog lovers out there this is a must read... its so cute...

I'm also reading The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury....Its similar to The DaVinci code, where the main lead tries to uncover messages left by a the templars that exposes Christian secrets. Its not as fast paced or as good as The DaVinci code, but its not bad....

I recently finished Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer .....after seeing so many recommendations from this forum....all I can say is....ahhh Edward

...can't wait till the next book....

Happy reading everyone!!!!
