Read Any Good Books Lately?
I am a voracious reader. It's one of my favorite things to do and a huge source of inspiration. The only thing I feel like I've sacrificed this past year in school is my time to read. It's been so long since I've had the chance to pick up a book just for fun that I don't even know what I feel like reading. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My favorite subject!
I happily suggest the following:
The Golden Compass (and the rest of the series), by Philip Pullman.
The Time Traveler's Wife, completely enchanting.
Hawkes Harbor, by S.E. Hinton (of The Outsiders). A quick read, with a twist.
Memoirs of a Geisha--but you've probably read that or seen the film.
Anything by Amy Tan--she's just fabulous and her charachters are so real.
Let me know what you end up finding--or suggest yourself. I'm a total bibliophile.
Ditto Golden Compas (Amy forced me. I loved it)
Ditto on everything, really.
Long Way Down by Nick Hornsberry (?) is turning into an interesting read.
Or there is this great NOVEL I read awhile ago called "The Professor and the Madman".
Smirk.
Thanks for the recommendations Amy and Lo. I know Karen would third The Golden Compass so I will head back to the library and start there.
I do in fact third The Golden Compass and the subsequent books in the His Dark Materials trilogy. Philip Pullman is a genius! I also like Garth Nix and would start with his book Sabriel.
p.s. Amy Tan is great too!
