Fiction old and new, whether classic or modern. I'm not into chic-lit or high production authors like Nora Roberts. Some authors I've enjoyed are Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Jeanette Walls, Katrina Kittle, Jodi Picoult, Elizabeth Flock

I'm not sure what kind of books you like reading, but I read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult and it was so wonderfully written!
I'm big on chick-lit and am a huge fan of Jane Green and Jennifer Weiner. I just finished Jane Green's "The Other Woman" and really enjoyed it. My all time favorite is Jemima J :-)

"Living History" by Hillary Rodham Clinton was for me, quite eye-opening. I found the experiences that Hillary went through quite entertaining and provocative. She was honest, straightforward and clear-headed about her times in the various countries of the world, with alternate and opposing customs from those that we have here in the Western hemisphere. I appreciated the fact that she shared such an adventure with me, her public. I did not know that the man, Mr. McDougal of the Whitewater controversy, was a personal friend of the Clintons. I know that Bill and Hillary thought that he was a friend, but he was worthless. Ken Starr was an ultimate idiot who was a bit fixated on burying the Clintons, even if he had to bury people alive to do it. Ken Starr was an incredibly dishonest man. I thought of the days of Joe McCarthy and his "inquisition tactics." Ken Starr was and continues to be an embarrassment to anyone affiliated with decency and commonsense. Where in the depths of hell, did they find such a man to be anything political, especially to represent himself as an independent counsel? You must read this book. When I picked it up, I just thought I would read a few pages. Yet, I never actually could stop reading it as I dug deeper into history. I love the fact that Hillary stated to the world, as she visited various countries, that a fight for women's rights is a fight for human rights. Remember this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. God Bless us all.

Wow. Hard question. I read a lot of good books. I guess it depends on your definition of good and the literary genre you enjoy the most. At the moment, the last book I finished was The Magdalene Cipher by Jim Hougan. Good, interesting adventure, but revolves around similar plots by Dan Brown and other authors regarding the true role of Mary Magdalene with regard to Jesus Christ and the early church. Nice read.
