I just started 'Scar Tissue' last night and am tearing through it!! It's the autibiography of Anthony Kiedis the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers - it's very well written.

Next after that is 'I am Charlotte Simmons' by Tom Wolfe.

Autobiography of a Fat Bride by Laurie Notaro.

I read her latest book first (I love everybody and other atrocious lies), and am working my way backwards. She is hysterical. I actually start to laugh out loud at some parts.

Highly recommend her!

I am reading 'The Lovely Bones' after putting it off for so long. (thought it might be too morbid). It is pretty good so far.

I just finished 'Secret life of Bees' and, prior to that, 'In her shoes' LOVED them both!

I'm going to try to find a copy of 'My sister's keeper' today.

Finished 'My sister's keeper' yesterday. One of the saddest and best written books I've ever read. I started 'The Lovely Bones' last night but was still so upset over 'sister's keeper' I couldn't get into another book.

eirann-
I read all 3 on your list - as well as many of the others people are reading.

Bonesetter's Daughter was so good - it was a little hard for me to get into at first, but turned out to be such a GREAT read.

Quentin's was awesome - Maeve Binchy spins such good tales - true sign of a true irish lass!!

Secret Life of Bees - not one of my favorites. I just could not really get into it. I read it the week before my wedding - yes almost 2 years ago - I got sick and needed something to pass the time. Maybe that's why I didn't like it so much.

I haven't made it through the whole thread yet but here's what I'm reading: The Red Tent and The Virgin's Lover - by the woman who wrote The Other Bolyn Girl which was AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I also HIGHLY recommend just about anything by Jodi Picoult - The Pact - a little sad, but good; Perfect Match was really good, Tales of a Humpback Whale (read on the plane back from my honeymoon) good; she writes very well - very odd stories, a little disturbing to think that people come up with these things,but good stories.

For you non-fiction readers Random Family was quite an eye-opener and very interesting.
