Thanks for all the replies. I'll defnitely be looking into some of these.

Ash, I loved "Of Mice and Men".. we read it for English two years ago. But of course, being forced to read is never fun and I only appreciated it once all the assignments and work we had to do was handed it and over with. It's a really sweet story.

Glacier, isn't Lamb's writing style amazing? I plan on buying "She's Come Undone" as soon as I finish reading Angels & Demons.

I also read a few plays and books in class this past semester; we read The Iliad (which was so awesome, I loved it) by Homer, and a number of plays for my contemporary drama classes: The Glass Menagerie, Raisin in the Sun, Fences, 'night Mother, and Oedipus Rex.

Has anybody read the Shopaholic books? I heard they're really funny.
