I need something to read.

And am coming up blank. I don't want to re-read anything on my shelves. Nothing is jumping out at me on any of the best seller lists.  

I feel like I haven't read a good book in a long time. And that makes me incredibly sad. I don't like feeling sad. Especially about reading. I need to read like I need to breathe. I won a reading contest in 2nd grade for crying out loud (and won a free trip to ValleyFair. and got to meet some Vikings players. Couldn't tell you who. It was second grade. I didn't know squat about football. Oh wait, i still don't. Go Broncos!).

What are you reading right now? Inspire me. I need to breathe again.

Person who recommends a truly amazing read will win a virtual high five from me. Much better than meeting random NFL players.

    My bookclub is reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

    We read Murder on the Orient Express last month. Very good, fun read. I had no idea who did it until the end.

    Last year I read Out Stealing Horses. That might be the best book I've read in years.

    There is a lot of Vince Flynn in the book case.

    Just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and I'm already on the second book. It's a really gripping mystery.

    I've heard from several people that Jeannette Walls' books "Half Broke Horses" and "The Glass Castle: A Memoir" are two of the greatest books ever written. I just bought "Half Broke Horses" and am pretty excited about it.

    I'm reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. LOVE it so far. I'll second Erinschech: The Glass Castle is great.
