Anyone have any good book suggestions? Doesn't have to be crohns related

[Rina]

I am having a flare up, and not working. Needing some good page turners. I like a book that sucks you in and doesn't let go. Thanks!:moon:

LOL, then you gotta read the biography of Melissa Gilbert, that tart was no angel lol..Don't care though I still am a huge fan.

'We need to to talk about Kevin'

It's really, really good. Like a psychological thrillery intriguey type book but the characterisation's really good too and it's really well written, I read it in about two days and it's quite long!

 

[HeatherMN]

Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, anything by Jodi Picoult, Stephen King, Laurie Notaro and Jen Lancaster (memoirs)

 

[LindaS]

If you haven't read the Hunger Games trilogy, it is something to consider. A page turner for sure.

 

[Dexky]

I'd like to get one person to read "The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint" by Brady Udall. I guess it depends what you like whether it's a page turner though

 

[Scifimom]

The Hunger games

Twilight Saga, Vampire Academy, True Blood (if you are into vampires and warewolves)

The "Game of Thrones" - Pillars of the Earth - World without End (if you like medieval stories )

Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain are both page turners, nothing too heavy just light reading to spend some time.

If you are into sci-fi

Altered Carbon
Childhoods end
Brave New World
2001 Space Odyssey
Starship Troopers
Farmer in the Sky
Mathusalas Children

I am a huge Stephen King Fan

Misery
Rose Madder
It
Jeralds Game
Needfull Things
Stand
The shine
The Tommyknockers

Finally the BEST BOOK EVER

Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins

I read a lot can you tell?

 

[Welsh-bird]

@Hannah- I'll second 'We Need to talk about Kevin', couldn't put it down either!

 

[Rina]

Thank you all for the great book suggestions! I am starting "we need to talk about Kevin" first and going from there!!

People kept recommending The Hunger Games and I resisted it, but finally so many people said it was so good I had to give it a try. I'm a quarter of the way through book three. It is quite good!

 

[mikeyarmo]

My favourite fiction book is A Confederacy of Dunces. It is really funny and is a good escape when going through a flair!

Any Marian Keyes book, I love her, she can make you laugh then cry then laugh again all within 3 sentences.
Hannah's Gift by Maria Housden such a sad but also amazing story.

Tuesday's with Morrie is by far my fav. I have read it several times, and pages are marked of quotes I love most. It makes me cry and laugh and think about my life.

Look Me In the Eye
Glass Castle
Roots

Jitterbug Perfume is great, just reread it over the summer.

I love The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy, just beautiful, beautiful prose.
It's practically poetry. I've read it twice, would read it again, but I lent the book to one of my pupils.

Other suggestions:
The Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind
I'm not a big fantasy person, but I've read this series at least 5 times.
Middlesex
Virgin Suicides
both by Jeff Eugendies
Breakfast of Champions
Slaughter House Five
those by Kurt Vonnegut

I'm kind of a snobby reader, but I read a lot.
Also for anyone who likes poetry, some books to have on your shelf:
Lost Cities by Italo Calvino, not poetry but it might as well be.
Ariel by Sylvia Plath
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
Loose Woman by Sandra Cisneros

Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon

I wanted to say that too, I'm addicted to them.

I wanted to say that too, I'm addicted to them.

Outlander: I absolutely loved the first 3 ... after that it got a little redundant. And, I just saw another one of those that seem to be new. Shouldn't he be dead by now, being quite old??? Just wondering because she lost me when they got to the States and the civil war. Somehow I didn't care much for that turn of events.

Hunger Games = fantastic.

Also might want to try Ken Follet's Fall of Giants.

No he is not dead yet, I bought part 7 last year and it is really really really good. As far as I know she is now writing part 8, but no notion when that will be finished. I can keep reading and reading these books.

For some fun, and a little bit of mythology thrown in - the Percy Jackson Series were fun - although I must warn you the movie and the book are SO DIFFERENT!.....

 

[Cat-a-Tonic]

I read the Lonesome Dove series last summer and loved 3 of the 4. The last book (chronologically) is not very good, but the first 3 are great. They were written in a different order, but chronologically the books are Dead Man's Walk, Comanche Moon, and Lonesome Dove. Don't bother with Streets of Laredo.

If your interested in sports I would recommend the Rafael Nadal autobiography, a great read.
