I've read a lot of books, so I was curious to see what others recommend. I enjoy reading books of pretty much any genre, so please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks so much! :)

Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" is the only book I've ever read more than once. Yes, it's that good (and affecting).

I read most of Terri McMillans books. She wrote "Waiting to Exhale" and "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" Also Movies! I read all the Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella. Great comedy books! Right now I am reading a Marian Keyes book called "Watermelon" its okay so far! I also read "Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris. Those were good books also. Enjoy.

The book Breathing Paris by Erin Headley is wonderful. The characters are very easy to relate to and it is very difficult to put down. For more info. you can go to www.erinheadley.com. I highly recommend it. Everyone I know who has read it has liked it.

the shopaholic series is quite repetitive. you're gonna feel like this: you've read one, you've read them all. the first one in the series is funny, i'll give it that.
