Read any good books lately

[KC8t80]

I was just wondering does anyone have any books they like to recommend or share what book they read recently? and if u can, give a brief synopsis about the book.

i'll start:

I just finished reading the Dead Zone by Stephen King..........it is about Jhonny Smith, a guy who gets into a car accident and slips into a coma for about 5 1/2 years only to wake up to find his world turned upside-down and on top of that......he can see the future and past events by touching things or people.......its a really great book from beginnig to end.

Great Thread! I love to read and I am always looking for a good recommendation

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
It's a little graphic in the begining but the book is told by a girl who is in heaven, she is watching people trying to solve her murder. I read it in one night.
I also liked the DaVinci Code, I did not think I would but it was very good.

Jennifer Weiner and Jane Green are good writers when you are feeling more "Girly"

The Color of Water - James McBride

reading and Jim are the number one things that i enjoy the most, i am hardly ever not reading or watching Jim, so a book that i have read recently that i would recommend is called " The Gun Seller" its by hugh laurie, its has a little of everthing in it, from spy to romance to thiller but it mostly has a lot of humour in it. it is so funny, i had to put it down almost every other page because i would laugh so hard, it has a very fast paced to it so it isn't a long read. the most part that i can say about it is, that the main character is named thomas lang, he used to be a scots guard but now he is unemployed and mostly for money he sells himself for bodyguarding people. but one day he gets offered to kill someone but he refuses to do it, but he decides to inform the guy that he was offered to kill a warning that some one is out to kill him. and because of his warning he gets in the middle of the reason why the guy is wanted dead. i have to warn that some scences in the book can get a lttle graph. if anyone does decides to read it, i hope they enjoy it as much as i did.

The Ring by Danielle Steel is a good book. Also, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks(I think I spelled his name right...)

Both of those books had me crying though. So thats probably not something a guy would like to read. But they are good, none the less.

Reading... ah ... loving it!
The last thing I read was "Faust". A little nice work by Goethe; really demanding but I liked it. But I guess you have to read it in German to get all the beauty out of it, like you have to read Shakespear in English.

It isn't Easy being green and other.... by Jim Henson's daughter
Very good little read and I think this bookd could help all mankind.

The Other Side of Me by Sidney Sheldon, it covers much of his life and his writing carrer, in many avenues, the path that takes him to his successful career, excellent book, very well written.

Carrie Pillby by Carin Lissner.

I have been looking for this book for a few weeks now and no one here has it. Do you still have it? If so would you sell or loan it to me? I found "Starting from Square Two" by Carin Lissner, do you know if that is good?

[quirky]

For me....it was a book I just pulled off the shelf at the library.

I haven't read the one you mentioned....but her writing is great.
