Prayerfully Yours: Creating the Bond Between Man and His Maker by Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski. After that I'm going to try Phantoms by Dean Koontz. My hubby said it was really good and he wants me to read it so we can talk about it.
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wrobleski (definitely a bear market book) and Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd (excellent saga of the history of England)
I love LOOOONG books, and get sad when they're over...
Oops, I accidentally posted this on the October thread, so I'm reposting...
Ooooh, This is a dangerous thread!! I always end up seeing so many things here I want to add to my reading list. I just finished Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews (Don't bother is my review). I started Fearless Fourteen last night by Janet Evanovich. I'm also reading The Shack by William Young, but I keep putting it down and forgetting about it.
My daughter has read and re-read and re-read the Twilight series, but I just can't get far enough in them to be hooked. Plus I think she's told me so much about it that I know too much of the plot.
I've got a Jen Lancaster book requested. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Mazza, I adore Agatha Christie's books. She is my all time favorite author.

Tammy - Thanks for responding! I'm going to go to the library this week to search for some good ol' Christie reading. Any suggestions on books of her's to start with?
A couple of Agatha Christie recommendations - Christie had two main characters that were in many of her books (separately). I think a good choice to start with for the Miss Marple character is "The Body in the Library". A good beginning choice for the Hercule Poirot character is "The ABC Murders". This is not the first book with this character, but it is one of the stronger ones.
Ten Little Indians (also titled And then there were none) is also a good one, and doesn't have either of these characters in them.
Although her works carry some of the same characters, they aren't series, and you can read them in any order. Just don't read the two that were released posthumously - Curtains and Sleeping Murder - until you've read her other works.
I read the Twilight series after my daughter read the first one. I always like to see what kind of stuff she is reading.
They are a good read even for a 30-something like me, my sis and aunt and grandma all devoured them soon after i told them about them.
The thing i like most about the series is that my daughter's BFF who never reads, but is boy crazy, got into the books and now she is on the forth book! She is in love with Edward and calls me all the time to talk about stuff in the books. My daughter quit reading the series in the 2nd book because she got mad at it.
Needless to say, i am taking the girls to the midnight showing of the movie in a couple weeks.
The books are a good read even if you are not into supernatural stuff because they are really more of a Romeo and Juliet type story, especially the first one.
So, now i am starting on Bram Stoker's Dracula. Because i feel like it would be a good thing to go back to the story that started the whole vampire craze.
I just finished The Genius and it was okay - it went one way, and then another. Ultimately, I liked it.
I am reading The Next Thing on My List but it's a little too much cookie cutter chick lit for me, it's too much like PS I Love You.
I have a ton of books on hold at the library and none to pick up! I am going on a trip next week to see my mom and have NOTHING to read on the plane. It is great sadness I am rarely in a book drought!

Oh..Dracula is on my list of things to read next. You should read The Historian.
BTW: I'm going to the midnight showing too..and then later that night, I'll be going again with my friend, lol.
