Reading Kick!

I'm on a crazy reading kick lately. Especially since i got my library card. The shelf on the right shows all the books ive read in the last 2 or 3 months. I really like The Sisterhood series (i'm halfway through book 2), and biographies, mostly of bands. I wasnt really into the sappy adult woman novels i read this summer, they were lame and predicatable. When i finish the rest of this Sisterhood book (strange that i dont find teen novels lame at all.) probably by tomorrow morning... apparently im a quick reader. i'm going to read a book about the postpunk era that i have checked out.

...but after that i am kind of out of ideas. I was thinking maybe a biography of The Clash but I dont know, or Sex Pistols. But i kind of want to read about someone influencial outside of music. Which brings me to why i posted this.... Any one have any suggestions???? Actors, politcians, authors...i'm going for big names here, people big in the media.

I've read three cups of tea, it was wonderful!

I'd recommend Pres. Hinckley's bio by Sheri Dew. It was very good.

You also might like Eat, Pray, Love it's about a woman's journey to find herself.

And try Shannon Hale (Goose Girl Series),Brandon Mull (Fablehaven), Stephanie Meyer (Twighlight Series), and Scott Westerfield (Uglies series).

When you're done with those let me know. :)
