Question

Been home due to surgery. Going to store to get a new bestselling book to read. Any suggestions?
No into westerns or history. Thanks.

Answer 1

Water For Elephants (I heard that it's a heartwrenching tale), White Oleander (An excellent book describing a girl's very messed up life in which she mainly moved from foster to foster family), Around The Block (A memoir on a young woman's travels to communistic countries back when they were more controversial; it was actually really humorous), Lovely Bones, etc. And I've heard that James Patterson writes the best adventure books ever; my friend's completely obsessed with him; try his Maximum Ride series.

Answer 2

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

Terrific book that involves storytelling as a medium of truth, as opposed to the journalistic fact-based reporting. As a work of fiction it is one of the most important books written in recent years.

Answer 3

Ooops! I'm getting this posted late; I hope you haven't gone to the store yet! ^_^

I'd have to recommend a Dean Koontz book. His stories are engaging and he's easy to read. If you're just starting out on Koontz, try Watchers or Fear Nothing.

Answer 4

I love anything by Jane Green....her books are really easy to relate to. I've also just finished reading Emily Griffin's books. They are a fun, easy read without being too trashy. I'd also recomend the Harry Potter series if you haven't already read them.

Answer 5

Try the Kusiel Legacy (A Trilogy) by Jaquelin Carey. It's brilliant, suspenseful, sexy, exciting, romantic, mysterious, and magical to say the least.

Answer 6

If there were only one book (66 making up one) of which I could take with me to isolation, it would be the Bible. No other written word compares. May God bless you in recovery.
