Oh I love reading! And I like actual books too! Not that I don't enjoy reading on my phone, but it's just not the same! As for recommendations of my own. I'll comb through this list later so sorry if I repeat. [b]Atlas Shrugged[/b] I know this book is long. Like...REALLY long...but wow is it good. It's intriguing and makes you think. Books that make you think like this made me thing are typically taken off the shelves. It may not be THAT bad, but it was a compelling read. It had its funny moments, sad, and upsetting ones too. I definitely recommend it. [b]The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (and by association..the other ones that follow it)[/b] If you love a good mystery/suspense book, this book (and series) is one of my favorites. I recently reread the book because I kind of forgot how it played out and I was hooked yet again. I believe the author recently released another one that I haven't read yet (but plan on it). It is a lot of fun reading these. [b]Jd Robb's IN DEATH series[/b] This is my guilty pleasure book series. I have every single book that has come out in this series and I absolutely love it. It's set in the future and follows a New York police detective. It's action-packed and comical, but it has a lot of heartfelt moments in it too. And they connect super well. Each minor character has his/her own voice too and when you see them you kind of know what to expect, but occasionally there's a surprise thrown in. In fact my favorite character is her partner, Peabody, who I don't feel gets the limelight often enough. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend this series (but PLEASE start at the beginning. It's for the best).
