I love to read-I guess that is obvious bookworm? LOL
I like John Grisham, loved his book, THE FIRM, made into a movie with Gene Hackman, and Tom Cruise.
I like biography's
Historical non fiction, and fiction.
Wallace Stegner wrote a book called Angle Of Repose.
James Michener is another favorite. Liked The Drifters, and Centennial among others.

In fiction, I prefer sword and sorcery. Started out reading science fiction, but at the time I worked in advanced technology research & development, and the books reminded me too much of my workday. So I switched to a genre of magic, horses, swords, and armor. My two favorite series are The Wheel of Time by the late Robert Jordan (never finished the series), and the Sunrunner series (the Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies) by Melanie Rawn.

In non-fiction, I like books of a metaphysical and spiritual nature. I'm currently reading "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" by Chögyam Trungpa. To me, this is an awesome book that is very, very deep if you wish to truly understand what the author (who has a bit of a translation to English challenge) is getting at. Or it could be read through quickly as any other book. What initially hooked me was a quote on the back cover that said "Ego is able to convert everything to its own use, even spirituality." That explains much in the "spirituality for bucks" industry. I've been reading it for about three months. I'm on page 64.

taowalker those books sound very interesting. Metaphysics, and spiritual. And the sword, and sorcery genres. I like all kinds of books, am currently into the historical, but do read others, whatever is interesting.
And those DO sound interesting.
B-my daughter has dyslexia, and tries to read but gets very frustrated too. She likes those Harry Potter books. It is hard on her, I feel for her. I think that it o.k to be a slow reader, I am sorry it is so frustrating for you.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
