Good Books?

I'm also recovering and have found The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to be a great read during this time. Don't know if its a genre you're interested in, but thought I'd share.

Hope you are feeling well. Enjoy a great day!

Thanks so much!! I will be looking all of these suggestions up before heading out to the library. Maybe we could even start a forum book club of sorts! I think reading will help me deal better with sitting around so much...and motivate me to be more productive when I AM sitting around, instead of just surfing the web and watching TV. I need to pay bills, do taxes and think of healthier things to be eating that are safe for my stoma! (I'll take suggestions on that last item too)

The Game of Throne Series - but only if you don't mind favourite characters dieing on you and you have a LOT of time to read (each book is very long) but well worth the read.

I always recommend The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins. Don't let the Young Adult Fiction genre fool you, scores of adults have taken to this book series (I'm proud to be one, in my family I've cultivated at least 6 fans, ranging in age from 12 to 88). We're all rabid THG fans now. Titles are: book 1, The Hunger Games, book 2, Catching Fire and final book, Mockingjay.

Along that dystopian genre, is another book series - Divergent (book 1) and Insurgent (book 2) by Veronica Roth. Final book (not titled at this time) is due out in October of this year.

If you like chick lit and want to laugh until you are nearly crying, read ANY of Kristan Higgins books. She's written at least a dozen, they are all absolutely hysterically fun reads. I have laughed at her books until I had tears rolling down my cheeks and found each one utterly charming. None have been made into movies but I think so many of them would make great chick flicks. None of which my husband would like, but the way this contemporary writer creates her characters and scenes, is quite different from other female writers (I think).

That's enough for now.

If you like history, "Killing Lincoln" or "Killing Kennedy" both by Bill O'Reilly & Martin Dugard. O'Reily and I are absolutely not on the same side politically but he writes a great history book. Both books are around 300 pages. And if you do like history, ask me for more suggestions.....I am a HUGE history buff.

The BEST series I have EVER read is by far..Janet Evanovich's Plum series..It starts with "One for the money"..and goes up to 19..and there are some great in-between books too! It is about a NJ bounty hunter who isn't that great at what she does.. TONS of humor..
Truly.. I was in the hospital waiting room while my dad was in heart surgery, reading this book... imagine sitting in a room with a bunch of older women and men and reading a passage about 2 women (picture Sandra Bullock and Sherrie Shepard) trying to make a bounty hunter capture, when they are attacked by a pack of sex craved dogs...and Sandra gets knocked down, with one on each leg, one on each arm, and one using her head...she finally gets up, and Sherrie goes "WHAT"S IN YOUR HAIR?????" Sandra- "drool, I'm going with drool"....
I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard....the guy sitting acroos from me goes, 'Wow, that must be a good book, what's so funny?"
I couldn't tell him I was laughing so hard..
Definately a series I reccommend.. my hubby even reads them now!

I love to read. Some of my favorites are by Jodi Piccoult including The Pact, Handle with Care, 19 Minutes, and My Sister's Keeper just to name a few. I also SECOND the Hunger Games series.
