I'm at a loss right now. I just got done reading Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Weiss, and I'm finishing The Lovely Bones tonight most likely. I would like to finish Water For Elephants but the library took that back. Any ideas?

Cry to heaven by Anne Rice....Spartacus by Howard Fast(outlawed during the Mccarthy era).....The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas, who also wrote the Three Musketeers & The man in the iron mask.....The Thornbirds by Colleen McCullough...brilliant book.....The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck (An amazing classic) & The Good Earth by Pearl Buck, lastly A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by betty Smith.
There, many classics and page turners for you!!! I have read all of these and in some cases multiple times!!! I really hope that this helps you!!! Spartacus will blow your mind. It had to be released in England as the McCarthy era had Howard fast black balled when it was written.
I hope that you read Cry to heaven by Anne Rice...it is NOT about vampires, but about the Italian Castrati, thus it is truth intermixed with fiction, rather historical fiction....
Happy reading!!!!! I gave y usome of my top faves here!!
Thanks,
Lioncourt

The Lovely Bones still gives me the creeps when I think of it. All time favorite "Dogs of Babel" Carolyn Parkhurst. It is good immediately. This guy comes home and finds his wife in the yard dead under the tree and trys to teach his dog to talk to see what really happened. It is some of the funniest stuff and heartbreaking. Hated her second book.

Then renew the book. Look up the author of books you like and find other books they have written.
