I like all kinds of books, lots of mystery and thriller..lately I've been reading easier reads since reading been making me sick but hopefully that lovely side effect will go away. I love Chuck Palahnuik (sp? his name is a blast to try and spell)...he wrote Fight Club, and all kinds of awesomeness.

Sorry to giggle, but I saw under your migraine treatments for a worry journals. I am a chronic worrier...and I think I would fill a journal with worries in about a week lol.
My surgical consult got pushed back, which doesn't really bug me. I just wish I knew what type of surgery they wanted to do, I know how different the recovery is and I am not good and "resting and recovering"...you think after 4 years with my back like this I would of learned...nope. All the karate competing and running kitchens has made it so hard...
gonna try and manage a trip to the library tomorrow, any book suggestions?
