Faves of all time-

Atlas Shrugged
The Fountainhead - both by Ayn Rand. Not light reading. Will change your life. Seriously. Very heavy stuff.

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold. Devastatingly sad, but unbelievable.

Catch 22- Joe Heller. War book that is beyond anything you've ever read about war. And I hate war books.

A Prayer for Owen Meany
The Hotel New Hampshire
Cider House Rules - John Irving. A master at weaving a story. I couldn't get into Owen Meany at the beginning,but once I did, it became one of my favorites EVER. Stunningly written.

The Count of Monte Cristo- Dumas. A fun classic. Rare.

Man, I have to go back to reading something other than Modern Bride. If you would have told me a few months ago that I would get pissed if WE TV didn't devote their entire Sunday to Bridezillas, but instead to the Cake Girls and Amazing Cakes, I would have told you to shove it. I apologize, because you would have been right.

Have you read any of the books by Sophie Kinsella? She does the shopaholic series and she also wrote Can you Keep a Secret? and Remember Me? Great Easy reads.

Fave books of mine:

The Devil Wears Prada, Everyone Worth Knowing and Chasing Harry Winston all by Lauren Weisberger

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Pretty much anything by Meg Cabot (including The Princess Diaries books)

All books by Bret Easton Ellis (if you enjoy the disturbing)

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Series

I could go on if you wish
