I only manage to read a few chapters before lights out each night. Any ideas?

Do you only get a few chapters read b/c you are bored or b/c you feel tired from reading or b/c you have a bedtime?
Stick it out 'til the end, try reading earlier, get in bed earlier - some possible solutions.

Can you keep a secret by Sophie Kinsella- Its a bit of a chick flick style book but I found it very entertaining, was laughing out loud most of the way through. And its very easy to read so you should be able to read a few chapters, put it down and pick it up the next night without really getting confused about whats happening.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Very addicting. It's about the relationship of a vampire and a normal girl. Both people have this mutual feeling towards the other, however, the vampire guy feels that the human girl deserves something better than the love of someone who's heart has already stopped [well duh, vampire]. A few blood, gore, and teenage scenarios also takes place. A wonderfully written novel, it is it's own story and plot. I've already read the 2nd book, New Moon, which is equally as wonderfully. I'm currently anticipating the 3rd, Eclipse!!! ^__^

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It's witty and intelligent, an interesting plot with humorous characters and it really makes you laugh. I've read it several times. [but dont bother with the sequels, they're not as good as the first one]
Also To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic that is full of wisdom and excellently written in a real way that is amazing and makes you think about life and law and relations and stuff. Read this several times too.

I can tell you about 2 books that have had a profound effect on me. The first is Differant by Design, Author is John Macarthur. The second one if you can find it is by a gentleman named ashcroft it is called Family Fundamentals. These 2 books made a very impressive impact on my relationship with others and with my kids. If you do get them I hope they are as much a blessing to you as they were to me.

The Lovely Bones is a 2002 novel by Alice Sebold. It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being brutally raped and murdered, watches from heaven as her family and friends go on with their lives, while she herself comes to terms with her own death. The novel received a large amount of critical praise and became an instant bestseller.
