I LOVED The Great Gatsby...I know a lot of people feel the exact opposite way, but it's amazing. It reminds me so much of some things I've seen/experienced.

My pleasure reading lately, however, has been limited to Rome guidebooks and Italian tutorials. Oh well. :D

I LOVED this book! I highly reccomend it, I just got one of my sisters to read it and she also loved it, when she was reading it I got the urge to actually read it again... very very very good!!!

This thread has been retired a looonngg time ago, but I'm interested to know what people read over the summer. My reading list is kind of in a rut now, so suggestions are needed!

While not the most intellectual reading, over the summer I enjoyed -

Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas: Further, Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty

All very, very good!

Also, I read something by the guy who wrote American Psycho. It was called Glamorama. Very strange, but worthwhile. I think that I need to read it again to figure it out.

I'd like to reccommend the romantic historical fiction series by Diana Galbandon. It's about a woman who travels back in time from WW2 to Middle Ages. What's really cool is that each book gets longer than the first . Book titles in order Oultander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. It's a series that you can really get into.

Like someone posted before, I would try The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I read it on summer break 2 years ago and I recently re-read it before the movie came out. The movie was good, but the book has so many other great stories that aren't told in the movie. I've gotten all my friends (who aren't big readers AT ALL) to read it and they all loved it, too.

If you aren't in the mood for a sentimental journey, I'd recommend A Prayer For Owen Meany. I read this when I was a senior in high school, but it still remains my favorite book. It's a story about God's purpose for two little boys and their friendship... good stuff :)

Of course, there are always the classics...

i just finished reading suzannes letters to nicholas by james patterson..it was a really good, quick read

I've read Bridget Jone's Diary as well as Confessions of a Shopaholic. Just today I bought the sequal to Shopaholic, which is Shopaholic Takes Manhatten. Perhaps you'd like that one.

Also, Candance Bushnell's 4 Blondes is a really funny book!

XOXO,
Annie.

bill oreillys books, some written by dennis miller, one book that i cant remember what its called, but it takes a look at the confederate government throughout the civil war. last summer i read lee iacocas books (even though their old) and a few months ago I finished reading the bible from cover to cover :)

If you like the Jane Green books, you'll also like Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner. I actually just finished Getting Over It this morning and can't wait to get Running In Heels. I love romantic comedies!

I just finished a book by Jagdish Bhagwati called: Volume I: The Theory of Commercial Policy. Pretty interesting reading.

Jane Greene's Mr. Maybe is great...as well as a book called Dog Handling, but I can't think of the name of the author right now.

On the Verge *do not remember the author, but it's fairly new

normal girl by Molly Mai Jong

Bookends by Jane Green

These are all fun, excellent beach reads :)

Confessions of a Shopaholic
Shopaholic Takes Manhattan
(Shopaholic Gets Married comes out in March)

I just finished the Nanny Diaries.

Karen, how did you like the Nannie Diaries?

XOXO,
Annie.

YES! I saw it at my Barnes and Noble, but I have not yet finished Shopaholic Takes Manhatten.

By the way, can't wait to talk to you again!

XOXO,
Annie.
