I actually was a lot like that before. I was only interested in informative writting. Used to go through 3-5 mags a month, cover to cover.

Last summer i decided to read a novel cover to cover for the first time in 8 years, and i ended up reading about 7 over the summer.

oooh books!

here are some of my favorites:

Anything by Timothy Findley - The Wars, The Pilgrim, The Last of the Crazy People, Headhunter, Not Wanted on the Voyage (I read all of these and in the span of one year - he's THAT good)

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

Fifth Business by Robertson Davies

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

The Five People you Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George (biggest book I ever read!)

The Devil Wear Prada by Lauren Weisberge - an amusing read.


Some childhood favorites (for fun):

Charlotte's Bed (the book that got me hooked on reading)
Tales of the 5th Grade Nothing
