I still haven't read "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert but I've heard it's great! Has anyone read it yet? I found it on the Sears.com website and I'm thinking about buying it. If you have read it, let me know what you think!

I am looking for a copy of John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress"

how about some yummy mysteries by Joanne Fluke????

she is good and an easy read, try her.....

Thank you for asking, I love to read and am always looking for some good titles.  I am looking forward to reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and World Without End by Ken Follett.

Please do not let this die out.  I really would like to know of some good reads.

I will gladly say that the Bible !It actually covers any problem in life that we could ever have.

I'm currently reading "Sepulchre" by Kate Moss.  Her first book, "Labyrinth" was wonderful!  This one is shaping up to be just as intriguing.

What genre do you like?  I read different things, so I'd want to recommend something of interest to you!

Beacon Hills High by MO'Nique

Courtney, I read that book while I was on a long flight last year and loved it. It put me in the right mood for 'smelling the roses' while on vacation with my family. I'd recommend reading it when you have some extended time to read and reflect on the great things in life (which is so incredibly busy these days!).

If you haven't already found a copy try Amazon.com.  It never ceases to amaze me what I can find there.  I am always finding "out of date" movies and books.  Also, I believe this is a tried and true that will probably be in the Christian bookstores as well as any of your larger bookstore chains (Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, etc.)  Sorry my reply is so late but I'm new to the discussion boards. 

Amen to that!  I love my KJV and the Lord!  My preacher used to say, "A Proverbs a day, keeps the devil away."  I try to read my Bible daily and yes, a Proverbs too!  I am an avid note taker in church and I can get engrossed in a hymn book too :+)  Thanks for sharing!    

I have read 'Eat, Pray, Love.' It's good, but I usually prefer historical fiction or books about Christianity. My favorite author of all time is C.S. Lewis.

I'm planning to read 'Come be my Light' by Mother Teresa when my friend is finished with it.

I usually dont read. I just throw smart looking books out on the coffee table when the ladies come over.

hahahahaahah!  Does it work? ;)

I'm looking to read "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornby, and I'm also looking into getting a few Raymond Chandler novels to check him out.

I'm currently reading two books at once which I rarely do.

I'm reading Two Little Girls: An Adoption Memoir" by Theresa Reid and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer; which I got for Christmas.  I recently fell in love with Jodi Picoult's novels and was given the following for Christmas so I will be reading them too:

1. Picture Perfect
2. Change of Heart (her latest)
3. Second Glance
4. Salem Falls

Along with these books I also purchased eight new books at the Giant Book Sale (check out my review) so those are also on my list of must-reads.

I came across this today at Amazon and I think I would like it:

Diary Of An  Unborn Child: An Unborn Baby Speaks To Its Mother by Manuel D. Coudris

I would also suggest the Holy Bible. Each time I read through it, I learn something new. The words do not change I just understand more of what I am reading.

"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. Even as the Archer loves the arrow that flies true, so also is the stable bow cherished." ..Gibran "The Prophet"

and just in time for Valentine's

I love this quote!  Thanks for posting it and here's wishing you a happy and mushy, sentimental kind of Valentine's Day ;+)

I just finished Eclipse, the third book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.  I'm off to start Breaking Dawn--the last book in the saga. 

The Shack - is a great insipirational book, will make you think, and great descrtiption of the Trinity. It is a MUST read!!!!

Some great reads of mine include "The Christmas Sweater" by Glenn Beck, any C.S. Lewis, "Disappointment with God" by Philip Yancey, and "The Life You've Always Wanted" by John Ortberg. These are just a few I can think of off the top of my head...

Some of my favorites include: The Historian, The Time Traveler's Wife, anything by Greg Iles, A Handmaid's Tale, Galatea 2.2, Brick Lane, The Fencing Master, The Hobbit, Women in Love, We Were the Mulvaneys

I've heard The Christmas Sweater is a really good book.   After I ready The Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright people began recommending The Christmas Sweater to me so I have it on my list of books to read too but I will save it for the holidays ;+) 

Have you seen the movie We Were the Mulvaneys on Lifetime or LMN?  It's really good--intense at times and very poignant but true to form for a modern day story about what happens to a family when bad things happen.

I read anything I can get my hands on.  You'd be surprised at what you can find at the thrift store.  Some of the best books I have ever read have been random selections.  I have too many favorite authors to list.  I have to keep a list at home for books to look for when I am out and about.  I don't care too much for military or biographies, other than that, the door's wide open.  One of my favorite authors is Anne McCaffery who writes about the dragons of Pern.  Oh, Maeve Binchy and Tolkien....way too many to list here.  I'm a bit shaky on spelling their last names but I would read any of their books again. 

Several recent books that I've read.

"The Christmas Sweater" by Glenn Beck, this a great book that kept me entertained during weekly plane rides. Teaches values that you can share will family especially children.

 "Boys Will be Boys" (Not Sure), this is a great sports book that provides a differant of of Americas Team the Dallas Cowboys during the 90's. Some of the content I didn't agree with which kept me interested.  

"The Elegant Solution" by (Not Sure), must read business book written about innovation/Toyota.   

 Currently reading "Do The Right Thing" by Mike Huckabee, a political book about conservative values. Good book to read no matter what side of the aisle you sit on. Vote for Mike Huckabee and support the Fair Tax!

 Books lined up, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Hummanity" by Bill O'Reilly and "Latino Talent" by Dr. Robert Rodriguez
