What's a good book I should read?

Unfortunatly you didn't say what kind of books you do like. I like mysteries and horror, so that's where I head, but I also love really good books. I would suggest, oh dear, what is the name, Secrets of a Gheshia,it was made into a movie, but better book. a few books by Alex Witchel, they are sort of short stories about disfunctional NYC family,, all true about her family. First Detective Club or something like that,I just got it from my husband and it looks good. I was told it was a series by a woman and only the first really worth reading. If you like any scifi- early Robin Cook, like Coma, early Crichten-Andromedia Strain (sorry I can''t spell, supposed to mean you are intelligent,HA). Have you tried Stephen King, like The Shinning, back when he could write. For mysteries I like some silly ones written by a woman names Joan Hess, she has 2 series and they are hysterical. They are a mix of mystery and comedy. I couldn''t put down the last one. Oh speaking of mystery and comedy have you read any Janet

Evanovich, she is one overly popular writer. She writes about a woman who lives in Trenton and gets into more trouble than any 10 people combined. My husband and I just wait and wait for her books, they are numbered, 1 for the money, 2 for the show, etc,up to I think we are at 15.

You can try and stress yourself and try to read "Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man"" one of my favorite books along with Ulysess, but you need the time,energy and cliff notes. Howards End and Orlando by

Virginia Woolf, Moby Dick, anything by Dickens, especially Oliver Twist or Great Expectations. Good old mysteries, Agatha Christie, any of her books.

Well, that should keep you busy. I hope I helped as I went all over the place and as far from Midnight as I could get.

Some of those are from feminine views, a few could also be just a little "girly lady" to your liking however others must be k. I've left each style on and you'll make a decision. Meryll of the Stone (Brian Caswell) Picnic at Hanging Rock (Joan Lindsay) Stranger with my face (Lois Duncan) Playing Beattie Bow (Ruth Parks) My Sister Sif (Ruth Parks) Hitch hikers consultant to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams) Holes (Louis Sachar) Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit Eragorn trilogy Narnia The Golden Compass Interview with a Vampire (Anne Rice) Requiem for a Princess (Ruth M Arthur) Looking for Alibrandi (Melina Marchetta) Angels Gate (Gary Crew) Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants Pelican's Creek (Maureen Pople) The Diary of Anne Frank To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) The Shiralee (Dárcy Niland) Into the Wild (John Krakauer) Chocolat (Joanne Harris) Harp within the South; Poor Man's Orange; Missus (Trilogy via Ruth Parks) Where the Heart is (Billie Letts) My Place (Sally Morgan) Little Women (Louisa May Alcott) Rebecca (Daphne De Maurier) The three Muskateers (Alexandre Dumas) Anything via the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen Whatever you do don’t run The December Boys (Robert Noonan)

Anything by Jodi Picoult

Especially My Sister's Keeper and Nineteen Minutes

The Women's Murder Club Series by James Patterson. The first one is called 1st to Die. Then it's 2nd Chance, 3rd Degree, and so one. There are at least seven books in all.

Those are both adult fiction if that's what you meant by mature.

Edit: okay, don't read the James Patterson unless your mom is okay with some adult content. And ditto any other Jodi Picoult's than the two I listed.

Some good mature YA are Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty

Scott Westerfeld's Peeps

Robin McKinley's Sunshine

Robin McKinley's Spindle's End

Anything else by Robin McKinley.

I hope you like them.

Crossing Paths by Dianne Blacklock

I found it to be a relaxing, funny read. Jo Liddell is a journalist in Sydney fighting her way to be recognised as a worthy columnist even though she gets stuck doing fluff pieces most of the time. She has just bought her own flat, is having an affair with a married man and generally feels pretty good about her life. The only thing missing-even though she’s not really looking-is a man she can have a decent relationship with. In steps Joe Bannister. Award-winning journalist and swarthy to boot. Joe is a likeable character who has come back to Australia to be near his ailing father but is not looking to fall in love. Jo and Joe come head-to-head on many occasions and their families and friends provide a familiar backdrop for their squabbles and dramas. However, just when you think the two Jo/es are destined to be together, there’s another surprising twist to the story. Crossing Paths is an entertaining, well-written romp for its genre and one for the Marian Keyes fans out there.

The Eight by Katherine Neville and there's a sequel out now called The Fire.

the Eight is almost indescribable. There's a chess set that carries unbelievable power - the book has two parallel plots - one during the French Revolution and one in the 1970s. It sounds complicated but I promise you won't be able to put it down.

The Other Side of the Sky by Farah Ahmedi. She wrote in her life story to Good Morning America and won. It's probably one of the best books I've ever read.

It's about an Afgan girl who goes through many struggles (I won't give anything away!) and comes to live in America & finds new stuggles.

It's hard to explain, but it's seriously an amazing book.

ummm.. Well if you like twilight then you should read

vampire kisses by ellen Somethingorother

Glass house by Rachel Caine

Vampire Academy by Richelle mead

Tithe by Holly black

Blue Bloods by melissa De La Cruz

All great easy books that are fun to read

keep it mature but you're reading Twilight? hahaha. okay I'm done being mean, sorry. um The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillieris AMAZING! as is Kushiel's Legacy by Jacqueline Carey; my personal favorite.

Any of the "Jeeves & Wooster" books by P.G Wodehouse. Timeless humour and just good fun for any age.

I luv Dean Koontz. Odd Thomas is a great novel. It has a little bit of everything in it.
