I'm in a book slump. I'm usually pretty good at picking out random novels at the library, but lately I've been off, way off, so I'm asking for your help....WHAT ARE SOME of YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS?
These can be novels, nonfiction, out of the teen section, whatever. -But please don't say The Book of Mormon, The Bible, etc... cm'on.
Some of mine- "Memoirs of a Geisha", "The Dogs of Babel", "Follow the River", "The Forsyte Saga" (don't judge), "I Hate Other People's Kids", etc. (BTW, a few of these books have PG13 + stuff in them)

Well, you didn't mention Harry Potter or Twilight- I love both of those series. I've been reading Fablehaven with my kids and they are great books. Nicholas Sparks is a great author. I have slated to read the "Uglies", "Pretties" series- hear they are great. I've heard a lot about "The Hunger Games". I have some books that I love but, well, they are along the PG-13 or worse rating due to language so I keep those dirty little secrets to myself :) I have a good little filter in my brain that weeds out trash talk. Rationalizing, I know...
I'm with you on Memoirs of a Geisha- that is one of my all time favorites!
LIfe of Pi (Yann Martel), Sweetness in the Belly (Camilla Gibb), Plainsong (Kent Haruf), In the Skin of a Lion (Micheal Ondaatje), The Friday Night Knitting Club (Kate Jacobs), The Canal House (Mark Lee - I think)...Sad to say I actually have an excel file that I keep kind of up-to-date...I'll email it to you.
Oh, and An Uncomplicated Kindness (Miriam Toews),and The Secret Life of Bees by someone.
the book of mormon.
AND the bible.
stones from the river is AWESOME, but heavy. good heavy.
beach music from pat conroy is like cotton candy with some heavy stuff in it, too.
I have nothing for you. I need a good new book too.
