I could never get into Harry Potter. Kite Runner sounded like it might be upsetting. Marley and Me seems to be a guy's kind of book.My recommendation is to read Wrinkle in Time. I loved it at 9 years old and I'm rereading it again now. It's still great.I want to read more Carl Hiassen. He's my favorite. I loved "Skinny Dip."If I'm wrong on any of my judgements, please feel free to correct me! Jodi Piccoult books don’t appeal to me.

My recommendation is to read Wrinkle in Time. I loved it at 9 years old and I’m rereading it again now. It’s still great.

I want to read more Carl Hiassen. He’s my favorite. I loved “Skinny Dip.”

I ended up getting a copy from paperbackswap, but have no clue when/if I will get around to reading it. The Time Traveler's Wife was always on my list of not wanting to read books. But for some reason, I picked up a copy and decided to give it a try. Prior to reading it, I honestly did not think that I would have any interest in it, but ended up LOVING it!! Overall, I think that I am pretty open to giving any kind of book at least a try. That is unless it contains excessive graphic violence of any kind. That is not for me at all.

Though I do want to read Catch-22. I read the Alchemist and I'd say leave it on your NTBR list at all cost.I, like you, have only read the first part of the Potter series. I stopped at three. The fourth looked so huge and I really wasn't enjoying it enough for that. Actually, most books on my NTBR list are by authors that I've read but just haven't enjoyed. Great post idea.
