Calling all bookworms - I need your help

Jul 08, 2006 08:46

So here's the deal - I need a really good book for the beach this year, otherwise I'll be on the beach reading my Series 7 textbook. Who has suggestions for me? I'm open to almost any type of literature ( Read more... )

I read "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory like I had impending blindness. I also just read "Mirror Mirror" by Gregory Maguire (he wrote "Wicked"). That was very good.
"How to Make Love Like a Porn Star" by Jenna Jameson was also a book I couldn't put down. Who knew I'd dig an autobiography so much. It was riveting.
Let me know if you have any recommendations as well... I have 2 9.5 hour flights ahead of me in the past 2 weeks and I can't sleep on airplanes!!

I LOVED "The Other Boleyn Girl"... couldn't put it down. Right now I'm halfway through another of her books, "The Virgin's Lover." I doubt either of them are really up Steve's alley, however.

Ha... I read The Virgin's Lover as well!
Just bought another of her books to read on the plane!

ANYTHING by Harlan Coben.

I second this! shebajr July 11 2006, 14:59:33 UTC

I was going to write the exact same thing. Steve, I once read one of his ENTIRE novels IN ONE NIGHT. I couldn't put it down! This guy is a genius.

Funny you should ask--my book club is having its first anniversary this month! Here are the books that were the highlights for me ( ... )

I read "The Secret Life of Bees" as well and enjoyed!

"Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides, author of "The Virgin Suicides." It's about a hermaphrodite. It's not fun in the "Geek Love" sense but I thought it was riveting.
I'm trying to finalize what I'm reading for the shore. I have a few options. Unfortunately, Don DeLillo hasn't released anything.
