I just started to have a little extra time to pick up reading leisurely-which I havent done in years,and wanted to get some suggestions on a good book to get into-a lite read-not one where you really have to follow a confusing storyline-I think I must have ADD, because I always get bored on like,page,40!
After seeing it so much on this board, I went to Davinci curse website-it seemed so involved!
Thanks in advance for your response

I want to read the Albom books (Five People, and Morrie). I have Morrie, but I have to put my personal reading on hold because I am volunteering for the Battle of the Books and I have to read some Young Adult books. I want to read Devil Wears Prada and some David Sedaris books.

Prayer for Owen Meany (my favorite book)

I loved that one too.... I always enjoy John Irving.

I just finished The Da Vinci Code and Loved it...LOVED IT!! It terminology takes some following and requires a little paying attention but it is a fast read.

I also enjoyed She's Come Undone.

It seems as if you are looking for light Spiritual books, based on your second post. you mentioned you want to have learned something by the time you closed the book.

I feel the exact same way. Here are area few I would highly reccomend:

The Alchemist (My favorite little book ever. Just get it...you will not regret it!)

Anything by Dan Millman (especially The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and 12 Guideposts for Spiritual Living)

The Prophet by Gibran - Just a must own for any spiritual seeker!

I have so many more on my bookshelf at home, let me know what you think, and I can always reccomend more!

A quick and funny read (esp for everyone planning a wedding) is Diary of a Mad Bride.

I too thought it was really funny...and I just bought 'Diary of a Mad mom to be'...it picks up where that one left off...it was funny as well..

Lucky by Alice Sebold
Midwives by Chris Bohjalian-great book
ANita Shreve's collection is great-a lot of them are selling for very cheap on bn.com
If you like SNL, the huge SNL book is entertaining.
Secret Life of Bees is good
Fast Food Nation-non fiction book that is so informative and jaw dropping.
