What Book Are You Reading?

[RobiLee]

Everyone's books sound interesting. I'll have to check some of them out.

Except for yours, Kay Ann! Those novels you read....very boring!

I'm bumping up this old thread because I need book suggestions. I am reading a book for work on measuring quality in health care. Not a page turner, but I need to get more familiar with some of the most common methods and what they are used to measure. I started reading "The Paris Wife" by Paula McLain, but I couldn't get into it. I think my brain is stuck on health care quality! My mom's book club is reading "The Aviator's Wife" which is about Anne Morrow Lindbergh. So ... reading enthusiasts, thank you in advance for any recommendations!

I pick up freebie books in a special room at our local recycling depot.

I am just about done The Diary of Virginia Woolf; there are several more volumes.

Daniel Silva came to fame recently with his book The English Girl, but there were books before that - all with the same characters, one of whom becomes his wife. These are spy thrillers but are written very descriptively, yet in a straightforward manner. I find each book a real page-turner.

Here's a list of his books: http://danielsilvabooks.com/the-books/

What genre(s) do you like most?

What genre(s) do you like most?

Let's see ... the authors of the last three books I really enjoyed were Erik Larson (In the Garden of Beasts), John Grisham (re-read The Rainmaker), and Malcolm Gladwell (Blink). I've never read Patricia Cornwell's books though I know she is very popular. I'm not into romance novels or sci-fi. If it's fiction I'd like a happy ending. I'll try to stop at the library soon.

Quickly 3 more that I enjoyed were, The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom. Warrior Princess, Kristin Beck.

And if you have a very strong constitution, God Must be Sleeping, Gregg Tyler Milligan.

Another Insane Devotion by Peter Trachtenberg - fiction, well written and has a kitty pivotal character!

Some of the best books I've read in the last few years are Stieg Larsson's three books - check them out! I also liked Maeve Binchy's "Italian Teacher" (not sure the title is quite correct)
