I don't read as much as I used to but I think it's good brain exercise. Just wondering what other people are reading. :)

Right now I'm on The Titans, book 5 of 6 of the Kent Family Chronicles by John Jakes. It's also known as the American Bicentennial Series. I find it hard to put it down.

I have read ever book that Dan Brown (DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception Point, Digital Fortress) has written and I'm now on The Lost Symbol. His books are FANTASTIC, IMHO.

I highly recommend him to any fan of DC or A&D.

Danielle Steel has some really good books.

I'm a really big Nora Roberts fan. I'm currently finishing book 3 of the Three Sisters trilogy that I borrowed off a friend.

Sounds interesting, never heard of it. Is he the author of North and South which became a mini-series? I've read some other books that were set after the Civil War but never read his because I didn't know about him. Most of what I read are recommendations from friends and family. Thanks!

I never even seen the movies but I prefer to read a book before seeing the movie anyway. I might have to put him on my list. Honestly I'm clueless about DC and A&D, only have a vague idea as to what the books are about. Thanks!

Danielle Steel has some really good books.

Do you have any favorites? I remember enjoying her TV movies back on NBC. :)

It's the same person. North and South is probably my favorite miniseries - ever. It's based on his books, although many liberties were taken with the story when it was written for the screen, which is usually the case. I won't give away anything, but I will say that Orey Main's story is quite a bit different in the books, and several characters in the miniseries just aren't in the books at all.

There's a sequel to N&S called Heaven and Hell, which is also good, although not quite as good as N&S 1 and 2..

He has a writing style that makes it so interesting. A very talented author, and I highly recommend his books.

I'm reading Russian Book titled "The Ringing Cedres of Russia" by Vladimir Megre, it's just amazing, wise and very kind!

I'm the type that will take an afternoon (if possible) and go to a bookstore and pick random books off the shelves and read a few pages. I normally find a few really good ones and write the titles down then when i get home go onto Barns and Noble.com or amazon.com and make a list and I'm set for awhile for books. I just finished a book called "By the time you read this" by Lola Jaye. Its about a girl who lost her father when she was 5 and he wrote out a manual for growing up since he couldn't be there to give her advise. It was a really good random find!

Jodi Picoult has good books. "The Pact" is one of my all time favorites. sad but good.

I'm trying to finish up Baudolino by Umberto Eco. It's pretty funny.

I'm currently reading, "Hidden Keys of A Loving, Lasting Marriage" by Gary Smalley. It's a really great book about love and respect. Now if I could just get my husband to read it too!

Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn. Fred is his postman who takes a mundane job and turns it into
