Hi Everyone,

I am an avid reader (2-3 books a week). Since I am constantly reading I am ALWAYS looking for recommendations. So, taking a cue from another post, I think it would be a great idea to start a book list. I'm sure this has been done many times, but I haven't seen one posted in awhile.

Classics are great, but I am looking for "new" reads.

My recommendation for the day is: The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond

Happy Reading!

I love to read, and am anxiously awaiting the list. I love on Hinds feet.

I was thinking this very thing this morning! I just don't know if there would be enough interest? Perhaps if we had a "Book Thread?" That way it wouldn't get buried...like this post more than likely will. I like to read also but go through phases of really intense reading to no reading at all. Can I suggest that along with a list or recommendation we write a brief synopsis of the book, or at the very least state what type of book it is? Here is my ultimate Fav. so far for 2009:
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
It is life written through the eyes of a dog, "Enzo", which is very clever! It sort of has a Jonathan Livingston Seagull likeness to it---my husband even loved it!!!

P.S. Curious what the book on Hinds Feet is? I looked it up but could not find it?

Ooh, count me in - I love to read! Right now I'm reading 'Plum Spooky' and laughing my head off

I read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and will be getting the Sequel to it when this semester is over in like April. It was very good and a very LONG read (almost 1,000 pages). I highly recommend it.

The sequel is World Without End. I have no idea how this one is, but Pillars was really good, so Im sure this will be good also!
