I thought that I would start a new thread.
I love to read and I am always looking for a new book to devour. I typically go by recommendations because I hate picking up a book and getting half way through just waiting to "get into it" and then realizing that the book bites.
So I thought that we could post some of our favorite books here and say a bit about them.
My most recent book I read: A million little pieces by James Frey. I really enjoyed it. It's an addicts account of his 6 weeks in rehab. Very interesting. Good read. It got some heat on Oprah because apparently there was a smoking gun report that poked some holes in his story. The book now has an opener written by James Frey admitting a couple of exaggerations but still a really good read.
Oh, I saw that book up for recommendations on Oprah. My friend told me to read A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, also recommended by Oprah. I got like 1/4 way into the book and stopped because it was just too depressing for me. I was crying in the beginning and my friend said that it was most sad in the end. Gosh, I would be balling my eyes out.

Not your fault Ally, I missed the beginning of both of these threads but only know about them cause I think it was PC who TTT'd them.
Uh, I didn't mean to kill this thread.
<tap, TAP> Is this thing on?
Im reading an author I recently got super hooked on. Michael Connely. Im reading 'The Closers' right now.
Theres another author from the UK about a DS Reebus that Im hooked on as well.
I heard that Michael Connelly is good. Have you ever read any of S.M. Stirling's books?
I had to google some of this, but actually I can say yes I have. I recognized three or more books of his. I thought the name was fam.
Is this whom you are currently reading?
