Thanks! I loved THE HELP; I deeply enjoyed the movie, too. I was afraid it wouldn't measure up to the book but it did!
Here are some my favorite titles: WATER DANCER by Jennifer Levin THE ODD WOMAN by Gail Godwin The alphabet Kinsey Milhone private eye series (A is for Alibi....etc.) I like all the PREY books by John Sanford, though they are frightening. SEVEN BLESSINGS by Ruchama King (about matchmaking in Jerusalem)
Ok....who's next?

The Janet Evanovich (sp) series is funny and easy to read.

I find things of this nature very interesting, hope you do too!
- Google the Creation Museum (the one in Cincinnati or nearby)
They have a set of DVD's that will blow your mind!!
I love non-fiction too! Right now I can't do much reading because of my neck pain.

Susie, I just read all the books by M C Beaton, mysteries with set in the UK and Scotland. Light reading for my Lyme brain. A bit of humor and I still haven't figured who done it before the end of the book !!
Also, Rhys Bowen, again mysteries. Her books are set in early 1900's - 1930's. Again light reading, entertaining and very enlightening about women's place in that era.
I've enjoyed these books more so then the hardcore mysteries I once used to read.
Never thought I would ever read this type of book, set outside the USA and written by a Brit. Now, I am craving more. It is addicting but so enjoyable.
If you read any of the series written by these authors, start with the first one in each series.
Barnes and Noble has a good listing with descriptions, dates and where the books stand in a series. Especially if you have a NOOK.

I have to stick to light reading right now. Nothing complicated.
The M.C. Beaton series are great!! Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth!
Right now I am reading the Lady Julia Grey mystery series by Deanna Raybourn.
I hope to read The Help soon.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is not light or funny, but a must read for everyone! Especially those of us dealing with the enormous egos of the medical profession. It shows that Lyme is not the only medical issue where doctors think they are gods and patients are nothing.

Mystery-"Tuesdays with Morrie" is amazing!
Im currently reading "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. Its a good book for animals lovers, its life with a family from the dogs perspective. Sounds weird but its really good.
