books?

I'm almost done reading my book (The Dome by Stephen King.) Can anyone recommend a new one? I'm not into heavy Scifi or fantasy (shocking, I know) but there are occasional exceptions to that rule.

Suggest away!

How 'bout history & mystery?

I highly recommend the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. Relatively short, amusing yet smart, etc. Mysteries set in late 19th/early 20th century Egypt--the heroine is an archeologist. There are about eleventy-billion of them, but the first one is Crocodile on the Sandbank.

Full list

Do you like mysteries? The Sue Grafton alphabet series is easy going and entertaining. Kinsey Millhone is a PI.
A is for Alibi
B is for Burglary
etc. (she's up to U right now)

We also both LOVE Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie is a Jersey girl who becomes a bounty hounter to make ends meet. Hilarity regularly ensues.
One for the Money
Two for the Dough
etc. (there are 16 of them so far)
