Ok, that was actually an error to have the book list be here, it's an old list that I keep under the link on the right - "What am I reading?". I switched the date on it, and now here it is, heh. But you can always check that link, it is the one thing in my life that I ALWAYS keep up to date.

Okay, so Megs asked what were my favorites. Many from the list were read for school, but also most were good.

Beloved - you all must read.
Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday - you all should read.
Handmaid's Tale - you all better read.
For Matrimonial Purposes - very good, very interesting, very sweet. Girls will like it.
Time Traveler's Wife - One of my top ten all time favorites. I sobbed through it.
Secret Life of Bees - I really liked it, but I've met many who have not. I recommend giving it a try.

And personally I loved all the Dan Brown and Terry Pratchett books. Terry Pratchett is a British writer who does good satire, some will love him, some won't get it. But I love him. However he wrote a book called "Good Omens" with Neil Gaiman which is one of the FUNNIEST books by far and in my top ten all time favorites.

John Irving is one of my favorite authors, but he bombed with "Until I Find You". Do NOT waste your time.

So that's it, my recommendations from 2005. And now we are off to 2006!
