I think I`m going to do it with you. :) Nicholas Sparks has a new one called The Lucky one.

Yay!!! It will be nice to have a partner in "crime".
Really?! It wasn't listed on his website.
It was listed on the main page but not listed with the rest of his books which explain why I missed it! Thanks!

It only came out on Tuesday. I only have like 2 of his books left to read. He never fails to make me cry either.

Make sure to add them to your list!
I absolutely love his writing!
I am hoping they turn more of his books into movies!
Because A Walk To Remember & The Notebook are 2 of my FAVORITE movies of all time!

I've been reading a lot lately too! I might just join you.

I have some suggestions!
Time Traveler's Wife! It's an amazing love story. The book made me cry.
The Twilight Series (4 books), the books are addicting like crack!
Good in Bed and Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner.

lol, right now I'm reading three books, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, The Handmaids Tale and I'm audiobooking Breaking Dawn the last book in the Twilight Series. I have the Audiobooks for all four of the books if you want them. When I cook and clean I listen to the book rather than music.

Yay!!! Reading = FUN!

Thanks for the suggestions! I've heard a lot about the Twilight series so I'll have to check them out and see what all the rave is about. I'll check out your other suggestions too! I'm always open for book suggestions!

I would love the audiobooks! I listen to music like all the time and I've never done audiobooks but I'm down for it!

I'll upload the books for you tomorrow when I get a chance.

obsessivedrmer October 6 2008, 17:38:41 UTC

Awesome! Thank you so much!

If I might make a suggestion...

Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.

It'll bring you to tears, though.

pelomalo October 6 2008, 02:58:56 UTC

I read that book when I was 16. I agree. It's amazing. I should reread it.

feverishly October 6 2008, 11:24:56 UTC

:)

Have you read When Nietzsche Wept, by Irvin Yalom?
Another good one that, knowing you, I think you'd enjoy.

feverishly October 6 2008, 11:27:19 UTC

Oops, I thought that was Christie responding, LOL. Oh well. Good book anyway, and definitely recommended to everyone. :)

It seems like a lot on your list have movies based on them. I admire you for doing that, because they're usually radically different from their movies. I just can't do it, though. I hate it. I can read the book and then watch the movie, but I just can't watch the movie first and then read the book.

obsessivedrmer October 6 2008, 17:42:10 UTC

Yeah! I know that a lot of them have. I just found out yesterday that Nights in Rodanthe is also a movie. I like had no idea. I like reading the books BEFORE the movies just so I know the full story of what's going on in the movie. It's fun to figure out what parts they twist in the movies or leave out.

You should really look into the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer
