I like almost anything, except most romance novels. They kinda suck. Fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, drama, funny.....
Thanks!!!

The romance novels I don't like are the cheesey "harlequin" type novels.

"The Archangel Series" by Sharon Shinn. "The 12 Houses Series" also by Sharon Shinn. Any book by Matthew Reilly ESPECIALLY "Ice Station". "The Sumer House" by Jude Deveraux and "Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West" by Gregory Maguire.

"The Alchemist" By Paulo Coelho
It is a very short and wonderful book with some good thoughts behind it. It is about a young Sheppard boy and his adventure to seek his dream. What he did not realize is that what he wanted was not what life had planned for him. If you have a day, or are tired of reading something that keeps on dragging on, then pick up this book. I did not want to read it at first because of the title and thoughts of possible spiritualistic undertones. However, I read it in one day while on an International flight, and only put it down to eat and make that long walk to the back of the plane. Everyone I have talked to comes away with something different. I feel it has helped me to search for my dream, and may one day lead me to a more fulfilled life. I continue to think about the lessons I learned in the book, and look forward to reading more of Coelho’s books. He has been one of the best writers that have inspired me and my life.

Hmmm....The Lifeguard by James Patterson is a great thriller...
Diary of a Blues Goddess by Erica Orloff is also a fantastic summer read. Its based in New Orleans, fiction, and a page turner...

Well, my favorite books are Twilight and New Moon.
They are funny and dramatic, and they have vampires in them... and New Moon has werewolves.
The only thing is... it is a romance. But, I hate romance too, and they are still really good.
