    Just dive in & once you get past the historical background in the first chapter you won't be able to put it down.

    well I just finished "Dont GO" by Lisa Scottoline
    and I couldnt put it down...great read....
    Bout a doc who is serving in the war and his wife dies back home and he has a little baby to take care of .....just so many twists and turns when he thinks that his wife might have been murdered...
    Now I am reading SIlver linings playbook...even though I have seen the movie twice I am enjoying the book.

    I know I should read classis but at this time in my life with all that is going on I need light things to read...

    Here's a short list:

    She's Come Undone - Wally Lamb
    One of the best books ever written!!!!!

    I received Sex, Drugs, Ratt & Roll by Stephen Pearcy over the weekend. Can't wait to start it but have a couple more books before it.

    I know nothing about the one Soda recommended so I can't tell you. I would only say that Penguin is extremely reputable.

    It's nothing major, but the translation I prefer stays truer to Tolstoy's original tone with its word choice. I'm sure you'd enjoy the Penguin version as well.
