Recommend a good book for me to read?

Question

I'm not a fan of sci fi or war/history... maybe a medical thriller, suspense thriller, true life, or an adventure. Give me the title and a quick description!

Answer 1

I recently finished this book:

The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen
Dr. Catherine Cordell, recovering from a brutal attack and hiding her fear behind a mask of professionalism, is the only one that can stop a psychotic killer known as "The Surgeon," due to his horrific methods of murder, before he kills again.

I have ordered the next book in this series and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

Answer 2

Inkheart- my favorite book, it's an adventure....

pretty much a book about books, but it has some fantasy in it (in case you don't like that kind of thing). It's set in present-day, takes place it Germany and mostly Italy. This bookbinder and his daughter are pretty much on the run from this criminal, and they have the last remaining copy of a book he wants....the daughter doesn't remember her mother, because she left when she was young.

At the beginning, this mysterious guy turns up asking for help, and the bookbinder(mo) and his daughter (meggie) try to avoid the guy, taking off to go visit an aunt of meggie's mother. The aunt (Elinor) is a huge bookworm, and dislikes children...after staying a while, the father (Mo) is kidnapped, and meggie and Elinor get caught, trying to go after them......they then find out what REALLY happened to meggie's mother and have to outsmart a gang of absolutely repulsive villains.

Answer 3

"Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett has a little of everything: philosophy, religion, violence, sex, architecture, history, geography and a couple of good, old fashioned love stories. It is truly epic, and my all-time, go to, forever favorite novel.

Any of the Stephanie Plum number novels (beginning with "One for the Money") by Janet Evanovich are worth the time. They are quick reads and have laugh-out-loud comedy and romantic tension, but they are also suspensful as all get out.

The Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella are also fluffy and funny, and most pleasing in their audio book incarnation. The reader has a delightful voice.

Answer 4

Have you read any Thomas King? I really recommend "Green Grass, Running Water", it is one of my faves! It is one of those books that is hard to describe, a mix of real life from a native canadian perspective and somewhat surreal too.
Amy Tan is pretty awesome too, "the bonesetter's daughter" is another favorite! It is about a woman learning about her mother's life from her journals as she degenerates.

Good luck!
