Top rated books

I am looking for a good new book. I have heard of some books that are top rated: A New Earth and Love In The Time Of Cholera but I have not picked them up. Any reviews on these two or any other books I should get?

I highly recommend www.threecupsoftea.com.I loved this book and it had everything I like in a story: love, action, romance, adventure, a great cause(empowering women) and a true story. If you purchase the book threw the link 7% of the profits goes to building schools. I hope the link works.

Eat, Love, Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert is an amazing book I just finished. A women's journey through exotic countries to basically just live life:D It was inspiring!

Yes I heard Eat, Pray, Love was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to read it. I have read a lot of good Jodi Picoult books such as The Pact, My Sister's Keeper, and The 10th Circle. Also the 10th Circle is coming out as a movie on Lifetime soon. Im excited for that because it was a great book!

I’ve read Jodi’s Keeping Faith and I’m curious to see how her writing style translates into a movie, The Tenth Circle!!

I just finished reading Milan Kundera's (of The Unbearable Lightness of Being fame) Life Is Elsewhere and I really enjoyed it. It is somewhat slow and heavily introspective. I have heard high praise for Love in the Time of Cholera!

I cannot wait either, I love so many books by Jodi but I'm not sure when the 10th circle is coming out, anyone know?

I'm a huge fan of Jodi Picoult. Too bad I missed the Tenth Circle this weekend. Bah.. I'll have to try and catch a re-run but I hope they did the book justice! Anyone see it this weekend?

I read Eat Love Pray too.
it was "nice" i thought...

I am reading Omnivore's Dilemma by M. Pollan very eye opening.

I also recommend for laughs Julie and Julia - its a funny book
and the Secret Life of Bees

Masked Rider by Neil Peart is also a good book

Oooh, "Omnivore's Dilemna" was good! I lent my copy to someone, not sure where it is...

World War Z was a great summer book. I think I read it 3 times. The Library of Congress has classified it as Humor and Satire, but I thought it was Science Fiction/Horror. If someone can explain that to me I'd be grateful! :o

Hello,

I enjoyed the following books:

The Kite Runner
Confederacy of Dunces
I Know This Much is True
Nickel and Dimed
Savage Inequalities

I hope you enjoy them as well.

;)

I'm in the middle of "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" by Marcus J. Borg.

Fascinating book. When I finish it, I'm going to read it again.

If you are into natural history, a short history of nearly everything by Bill Bryson has some meat on the bone.
