Reading Rainbow
I have been reading the Harry Potter series since last spring and last night I finally reached the last page of book seven yearning for more. I had never read a 700+ book before for any recreational purposes, and all 7 books were 450+ pages. At first I was completely against all the hype associated with the series but I was desperate for a fantasy (reality-escaping) read, so my friend loaned me all the books. They were quite intriguing, and then I got Mike hooked to the movies, and now....we have to wait for the next Harry Potter movie to come out which I hear is supposed to happen in summer of 2009, but the movies are not my major concern. WHAT do I read now??? I've never really had a favorite author, so I've always struggled finding a good book, but do like to read. Science fiction, mystery, and drama are my thing, so anyone out there have any suggestions?

The Eight by Katherine Neville was quite fantastic and I have just recently found out there will be a sequel :) I also have a trillogy you may like by Nora Roberts. I should have access to a copy of each let me know if they spark and interest :)

Nothing takes me away like the book "Clan of the Cave Bear" The setting is back when people were first discovering themselves and other types of people. I know you like people watching and this is like living through their eyes. There is a whole series of books. Start with the very first one and just keep reading. I have read this one over and over again. Her description of the layout of the lands and the details are wonderful. A lot of research was done on these books.
Stephanie Meyer-Twilight Series! Such an easy fun read. Totally sucks you in! I read all four 400+ books in one week! Love them!
I'm in chapter 3 of The Eight. Still on the fence about it. I'm also going to look into the Twilight series. Thanks for all the suggestions.
