Can anyone reccomend a good book to read? Fiction or Non Fiction all is good. I am out of the loop on current authors. Been awhile since my attention span let me read for any amount of time.

I like about everything, minus the really steamy romance kind of stuff.

Thanks Everyone and I hope your Turkey day goes well! Or at least tolerable!!!!!

"Blink" and "the Tipping Point" both by Malcolm Gladwell.

"All the Pretty Horses" (helps if you know a little spanish). I just read it recently and fell in love with the characters. And the movie didn't do the book justice.

Anything by Jennifer Crusie - she is hysterical.

Try Cabinet of Curiosties, by the same ones that wrote Relic. It is an excellent, consuming read. Also anything by Dean Kootnz, John Saul. James Patterson is also another good read! Happy reading!

I really enjoy historical fiction. If you are interested in Elizebethan history try any Philippa Gregory book is worthwhile.

I know this is kinda a large book but I highly suggest The Lord of the Rings. I hid most of my young years in that book. I love it to pieces read it over and over again. But that's if you like fiction ;3

Two people said "the unquiet mind" I would take that as a sign.

The Web of Life, by Louv - a good book, encouraging and uplifting, with separated chapters so you can stop after each one or keep going, if you wish.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
