I have finally exited this very busy period of my life and I long for few very good books to read. Have you come across something good lately? I like almost everything except SF stuff, shallow chick flicks, my favourite books are by Tony Morrison, Alexandre Dumas, Emily Bronte, Robert J. Waller etc...

Sooo sooo many where to start!
My favourite at the moment is the Time Travelers wife by Audrey Niffnegger - it's not sci fi at all, about relationships going through trials - very good!
I'm reading the 'God of Small things' at the moment which I'm enjoying (Paul Brians)
Great Classics(Wuthering Heights is my favourite but I'm sure you've read that)
Great Gatsby - F. Scott fitzgerald,
Cider House Rules - John Irving
Modern greats
Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
The Red Tent - Anita Diamant
Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
could go on, but this should get you started... Happy reading!

I just recently read (only cos the cover looked interesting) 'The 13and-a-half Lives of Captain Bluebear' by Walter Moers. It was pretty good so I read 'Rumo' which was even better again. Highly recommend them because they're like a kids book for adults, very amusing but also fairly insightful.

If you really want "GOOD" books, maybe you should try Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, or The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery...

"Marly and Me" is a laugh out loud story of a writer and his dog.
"Hard Drive" is a facinating biography of Bill Gates from a very critical point of view from Seattle reporters. Amazing how hard Gates worked to serve his customers. Inspiring
"The Enemy at Home" "The cultural left and its responsibility for 9/11" A bit more tedious to read but really opened my eyes to why traditional family oriented muslims are horrified by liberal anti-family/morality American culture and why terrorists want to kill us.
