I suppose that means I get to go SHOPPING tomorrow! AWESOME!!!!

Any suggestions? Something big, so I won't blow through it in one day. Or a series. Series are always good. I don't do fantasy so much, though. Or nonfiction. But suspense, horror, romance... those are all good.

My brother the English major gave me 'Crime and Punishment' two Christmases ago.
I am a reader but it's over 500 pages translated from Russian. I wish I could give it to you .
That same Christmas my other brother gave me a book about the Dallas Cowboys. I read it twice.

Never judge a book by its cover!

But it probably is. I think I started it once years and years ago. Maybe now that I am older, I would enjoy it. I might read some of it in the book store.

Time Traveler's Wife was well good.

As a huge Russian literature fan, I'm always the first to recommend Anna Karenina, Crime & Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. War & Peace is on my list of to read books, just have not done yet!

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Angela's Ashes were both very good. William Faulkner is amazing too, Light in August and As I Lay Dying to be specific.

Ummm what else....

The Bronte sisters do good work.

I have Jane Eyre in storage. Started reading it YEARS ago and never got around to finishing it.

You read A LOT don't you?

Get Catch-22, you'll love it. It's not super long, but it's epically great.

you could even go for something older by a classic author.....if you can get it a H.G.Wells collection with 'the war of the worlds','the invisible man' and 'the time machine' would be a good read

I got Anna Karenina at Sophie's suggestion and a hardback for $5 called The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova. Seems interesting, and it was super cheap if it isn't any good.
