I love the Janet Evonvich books but think I have read them all...perfect light reading.

I need to find another author like her to read a whole series. I can read a book a day easily when not training.

Very cool!

I have downloaded Sherlock Holmes onto Kevin's kindle so I can share it. My Dad used to read it to us at night when we were 8-13 at the cabin. It was always better when power was out and he read by Oil lamp. I want to read Hound of the Baskervilles again and to my kids.

They have this...haven't read it since Freshman year Econ with Robby Moore....juicy....loved that book

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

That's a good idea for a post surgery reading book - I hear you heal faster when asleep 

I'm re-reading a lot of the stuff I read for my first 6 weeks on bed rest...I don't remember them as well as I thought I did :D

I read more when I AM training, since I read on the ET and on the trainer, and that can be up to 3+ hours a day, so I've plowed through a lot in thelast 24 months.

Some of the standouts:

Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series is good. (mystery of a sort)

Just read Ex heroes and am reading Ex Patriots--superheros v. zombies

Kim Harrison's The Hollows series and the kate Daniels Series (if you like paranormalfiction)

John Sandford's Prey series--there's like 20 of them, so it takes a couple weeks to get to them all.

The Dresden Files (by Jim Butcher)--a combo of John sandford and Kim Harrison

Any Neil Gaiman--I've read most of his stuff at least 1-2 times. American Gods is WONDERFUL.

Hi.  While on holidays my wife and I read a few of James Patterson's books on the "Women's Murder Club".  There are about 10 books in the series and they are a fast read.

You may (or may not) enjoy any of Kathy Reichs books - her books were the inspiration for "Bones" on TV.

Hope you heal fast.

Lots of great ideas...keep them coming.

I know I can read a couple chapters before I decide to buy them with Kindle.

If you like "urban fantasy"...I have about 15 series titles I can give you. :D I also tend to read series books, b/c I treat each book like a chapter, and usually go through a book a day or so.

DO you have any specific other genres or authors you've liked?

Grisham has a new book.  There's one day.

I still have not made it through Triathletes Bible.  Is that in electronic form?

Chariots of Fire.

I am sure that you have read Born to Run.  I enjoyed it, but I'm not actually sure what it was.

For light reading I like

Stephanie Plumb series

John Sandford books

Historical novels

Clan of Cave Bear series

The Immigrants Series, not John Jake one, immigrants from Scandinavia to Minnesota not US author, from the 70s

Like cop stories & mystery& complicated but not overly so

I liked early Stephen King books

Don't really like science fiction

Like stories about oppressed people and how they cope..liked Roots when it came out

Oprahs reading books I'm about 50/50 if I like them

I read fast so something with tons of details I tend to skip a lot and miss out details unless very interested in it

I read a lot in summers in Minnesota. My mom saves books she read for the year and I just pick one up start it and if I like it keep reading, if not pick up another book. My sister also recommends book but she reads more high brow stuff with her book club.

Love his stuff. Lamb is probably my favorite. :-)

The Cornwells books I read when new ones came out but haven't read them for some years. They were great.

You guys rock at coming up with ideas.

I have recently enjoyed reading the following:

Born to Run - Christopher McDougall

Ultramarathon Man - Dean Karnazes

Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand

Water For Elephants - Sara Gruen

Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer
