Im more of a reader come winter time but there is nothing i love more than sunday mornings curled up in bed with the b/friend and our books, it heaven!

I just finished reading Rebecca Miller’s – The Private Lives of Pippa Lee as I wanted to have read the book before seeing the movie.

If anyone is looking for a good book to take on a trip I cant recommend Shataram by Gregorey David Roberts enough.

I loved Cake too. So much. Too bad all the bad press it got on gawker made me wait two years to pick it up.

I’m currently recommending “Animal, Vegetable Miracle” to everyone I know. And I’ve become a recluse bookworm in the past week after I started “Admission” by Jean Hanff Korelitz. I wish I was home reading it right now!

I finished reading “Trail of Crumbs” by Kim Sunee. She has mouthwatering recipes related to the story after every chapter. Her descriptions of Provence, Paris and love life made it a very good summer reading. I am now reading “My live in France” by Julia Child- if you like cooking, it’s wonderful. I am determined to finish the book before watching “Julie and Julia” movie.

I have just finished Mao’s Last Dancer, a fantastic autobiography of Li Cunxin, a ballet dancer who grows up in Mao’s communist China. I’m not into ballet at all, but absolutely loved the book. Great portrait of one man, but also of a time and place we seem to to know much about in the West.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is an amazing book. As is Love in the Time of Cholera. I just finished reading The Road. It is very dark and almost repetitive, but in a way the only builds the tension. I also recommend anything by Tom Robbins. Very irreverent and quotable work.

“The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” has been pretty good so far. I just read through an amazing scene and can’t stop thinking about it.

This list is great!

Wow, this is so great. I’m going camping this weekend and really want more reading material. There are great suggestions from readers. Oh, and I’ve read “Cake” and I love it. I even used it in a research paper about creative writing.

I spent my spring reading all of Jane Austen. The last two books I read or I should say reread is Persuasion ,which is my favorite Jane Austen book and Jane Eyre. I’m currently rereading Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper by Sark. I’m also going to start reading Wayne Dyer’s Excuses Begone
