I read everything I can get my hands on but my favorite has got to be well-written historical romance books. The best I ever read, and my favorite book of all time, is an old one called "Forever Amber", about a 16 yr. old girl who runs off from her small, English village with an English lord who is a supporter of King Charles II, and is returning to London with a group of friends. It chronicles her twisting rise through London society, and there are interesting plots and sub-plots.

This book came out in 1942 and was considered shocking at the time but all America was reading it. If you start on it, you won't be able to put it down.

Not exactly historical but Zorro by Isabel Allende is a great read in that vein.

I am reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (Kiterunner)

My main charcter just got her head cut off by the Taliban for running away from her mean husband, after killing him with a shovel.

I also read "I Lost my Love in Bagdad" A true story about a reporter

Lately, I have been hooked on Janet Evanovich books. She has a series about a a female bounty hunter with a sassy attitude. It's fun reading, nothing serious or tear jerking. She also has a series about a female that is part of a pit crew of a Nascar driver (whom she also dates) that takes place in Miami. Always a fun mystery with Janet's books!!
