New Kindle need book ideas (Page 2)

Loved Christopher Moore books - though currently reading Fool and not liking it as much as the others I've delved into. 

There's a somewhat historical series out by Diana Gabaldon which is a series of about 7 books now, the first being Outlander and I've gotten about 4 people hooked on the series now. 

Also reading the Game of Thrones series and on book 2

I *think* there's a new Stephanie Plum book coming out? 

Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery!!

Ditto Water for Elephants and Into the Wild.  Both really good reads. 

In fact pretty much anything by Jon Krakauer: Into Thin Air, Under the Banner of Heaven, and Where Men Win Glory. 

If you like non-fiction, I recently read two fascinating books about the Sea (an interest of mine) that I would recommmend:

A Voyage for Madmen by Peter Nichols is about the first non-stop solo circumnavigation of the earth (those guys had NO IDEA what they were getting in to) and

Down to the Sea by Bruce Henderson is about an incident in WWII in which a number of US Navy ships sank in a typhoon.  It paints a picture of Bull Hallsey and some other well-known names from WWII that I had never seen before, and has plenty of heroism and cowardice to fill some quality hours. 

None of this is heavy reading.

I have read several of the books that she has listed and I say that THE HELP, SARAH'S KEY, AND THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS are all great books and I loved them (even for a guy they were good books). I am currently ready "You are an Ironman" by Jacques Steinberg and it is pretty good so far. I also recommend "The Hunger games" trilogy by Suzanne Collins, they are a pretty cool books and a quick read. My last suggestion is one of my favorite books of all time and it is "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. It is a fantastic book and its kinda long so it will give you something to read for a while. Hope all goes well and you get some great books to read.

Anything by Jodi Piccoult - love her books!

Just listened to The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom.  One of the characters was narrated by one of the readers in The Help.  It was a really good (surprising - got it on Audible for $5) listen and guessing it would be a really good read as well.  Here is a summary:

In 1790, Lavinia, a seven-year-old Irish orphan with no memory of her past, arrives on a tobacco plantation where she is put to work as an indentured servant with the kitchen house slaves. Though she becomes deeply bonded to her new family, Lavinia is also slowly accepted into the world of the big house, where the master is absent and the mistress battles opium addiction. As time passes she finds herself perilously straddling two very different worlds and when loyalties are brought into question, dangerous truths are laid bare and lives are at risk. The Kitchen House is a tragic story of page-turning suspense, exploring the meaning of family, where love and loyalty prevail.
