(DD is learning to read and has to read every day....)
 
Last three books read:1. Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. Highly recommend.
2. Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs. This series just keeps getting better as I go.
3. Talyn by Holly Lisle. Her best work thus far. She's created a wonderful world.
 
I can't pick three so I will put it this way...I recommend any of the Nicholas Sparks books...he is great.
 
Innocent Man
A Thousand White Women
Night
 
I have to say that Twinkie, Deconstructed by Steve Ettlinger I LOVED. It is not fiction, and it is not action packed. But I couldnt put it down. VERY GOOD book for the person who wants to know.

The Pillars of Earth is another on on my list to read I see you gave it 5 stars..good read?
 
I could not put it down. I've got its "sequel" on my hold list at the library. I haven't read any of his contemporary fiction, but his historical fiction is out of this world.The sequel is set during the time of the Black Death and centers around the same town and cathedral.I cannot recommend this enough.It's a HUGE book, so be warned you're going to be living in medieval times for a WHILE unless you're a speed-reader. ;)
 
I have some

1. Twilight-Stephenie Meyer
2. Leonardo's Shadow-Christopher Grey
3. Black Duck-?

it used to be i would read a book to the end no matter what, now i just can't do that so i'll read a few more chapters and see if i can finish
