I have a wide range of books i like to read, but looking for a real good one!! I've read financial books, comic novels, parenting books, and fictional novels, and one mystery, which i'm not too faund of. I love to learn, and like to be captivated by the book. I've recently heard of culture warrior, but think i'd get more turned off by it that anything. I'm a 22-year-old stay at home mom!

If you want something funny, try A. Lee Hernandez's "Gil's All-Fright Diner" or Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens." Both are hilarious in different ways. If you want something more serious and gritty, I'd recommend N. Frank Daniels' "Futureproof." If you like horror, give Patrick McGrath a try.
On the other hand, it's hard to find a bad novel amongst the classics. Anything by Dickens or Dostoyevsky will most certainly be worth your while.

Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald
From Amazon: A sprawling saga about five generations of a family from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Fall on Your Knees is the impressive first fiction from Canadian playwright and actor Ann-Marie MacDonald. This epic tale of family history, family secrets, and music centers on four sisters and their relationships with each other and with their father. Set in the coal-mining communities of Nova Scotia in the early part of this century, the story also shifts to the battlefields of World War I and the jazz scene of New York City in the 1920s.
