I need something to read

[morrigirl]

I'm in desperate need of reading material. I just finished reading this totally sloppy and pointless memoir so now I need something good to whet my appetite. I'm open to any and all recommendations. Go hog wild.

PS I'm serious. Help a sister out.

duh - Harry Potter!

all I want to read are "children's books" & YA novels

Kurt Vonnegut is always good I think, or John Irving if you want something more, well I can't think of the right word. Have you ever read "The World According to Garp"? I wrote a book report on it Junior Year of High school, I really liked it

Kurt Vonnegut, everyopne tells me I should read him. They've been telling me for 6 years. Is there a particular one you'd recommend?

I've tried reading John Irving and I just can't get into him. Michale is a huge fan and has been trying to tunr me on to him for the last 10 years. So far it hasn't worked.

I think John Irving takes a little time, and you also have to like your books with a lot of gratuitous sex

Kurt Vonnegut - Cat's Cradle - that's the first I read & really liked and is still my fave, I also enjoyed TimeQuake - most people will say to read Slaughterhouse Five (which I still havent finished) b/c that's the book most people had to read in high school & it's probably his most famous - but really, start with Cat's Cradle, I think it's more fun, and it's not all that long either. Or you could just get one of his books of short stories, or God Bless You Dr Kevorkian

Mother Night. I think that's Vonnegut at his best.
