    Like Richard, I inhale books, too! Finally, Jonah is a good enough sleeper that I can indulge in an hour of reading at night, without worrying about a 5 am wake up time!

    My fave authors' Stuart Wood, David Baldacci, LesCroart (sic), and anything in that 'genre'.

    I also read Debbie Macromber, and Jonah (with help from Lillycat) got me her sequel to Blossom Street. I just finished it last night.

    When all else fails, I will read magazines. If nothing else- I will read instruction manuals, product manuals, just give me something to read!

    Jonah seems to love to read, too. We go to the library often (though the electric door button seems his fave thing right now), and he has a couple of shelves of books to choose from. Of course, his favorite is, "Where is the Cat".

    Someone said to me once, "I don't have the time to read....". My answer- here it comes again, folks! Turn off the TV!

    There's "Oedipus the King", by Sophocles, probably not what you want. The Oedipus complex is a Freudian idea, so a book about it maybe making fun? Not sure.... I read that in high school, very interesting....I am also an avid reader, I can't go to sleep at night until I've read something. My husband just doesn't understand...I can spend ALL day in a Barnes & Nobles. I have about 35 books on my shelf that I have yet to read

    If you like horses -- chicken soup for the horse lover's soul is good. I got that book awhile back and am still reading it.

    I love to read also! I can't have enough books to keep me happy! I just recently stumbled upon a series by an author named Tamora Pierce. I'm very much into science fiction so I loved these books. They are about a girl who has a form of magic called wild magic and uses it to talk to animals as her magic grows she can later on morph into animals. I won't go into explaining the books as I always tend to make them sound horrible, but it was a really good series. It is a teen series but I loved every minute of it!

    The books are called (in order) - Wild Magic, Wolf Speaker, Emperor Mage and The Realms of the Gods

    I also love any book by Anne McCaffrey, she has a great series called the Dragon riders of Pern that I have fallen in love with and can't get enough of. I would definitely recommend them to any reader.

    Did Anne McCaffrey write Mistress of Dragons ? I bought that for Troy the other day and I don't know where he has placed it so I can't look myself. f;asjdflkj ERRGh. He's very much in to those genres.

    No, doesn't sound like it. Sounds like you went through a lot of trouble to look so thank you very much! Actually, the book I am looking for might be a short story. It's a funny story about a little boy who tries with all his might to make his dad not touch or sleep with his mother, his dad goes off to war, there is a lesson learned somewhere in there, I think, and it's pretty good.

    Yeah, my husband has to get up early and does not understand my 5 am book-induced bed time. You sound like me with all of those books! (We had to donate so many to a book store because of the move.)
