I like books like "I know this much is true" and "Memoirs of a Geisha". You know with good realistic adult stories. Any recommendations????

"The Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon
Synopsis....a nurse from 1941 ends up back in time to 1742 or so in Scotland. It has romance, excitement, sex...and may seem like a romance novel, but as a guy, I thought the books were incredible.
Be forwarned though, each book is roughly 700+ pages (and there's 5 of them or so). But they are really terrific and great to read.

Try The Joy Luck Club, All the Way Home, The Blue Bottle Club, and The Grapes of Wrath.
Some good nonfiction books are The Diary of Anne Frank, A Quiet Strength (autobio of Rosa Parks).A Different Kind of Hero(bio of Chris Burke), The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and One Hundred and One Famous Poems.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a great book. It's probably in the young adult section of book stores and libraries, but alduts and teens enjoy it equally. Everyone I know that has read it loves it.

Try "She's come undone" by Wally Lamb. If you liked "I know this much is true" I highly recommend it! Also, try any of the Mitch Albom books.
