I've picked out (so far)...
* The Second Time Around -- Mary Higgins Clark
It's a great murder mystery. The head of Gemstone company disappears in a plane crash just before his cancer vaccine is rejected by the FDA. But his body is not found. Money is found missing from the company. The story is about a magazines columnist's search for the truth. I read this while on vacation from front to back and never put it down except to eat! I bought it while on vacation because my Clie crashed and couldn't recover the ebooks I brought on it. So I actually walked into a bookstore and bought a paperback instead of buying an ebook. It was a nice change of pace reading it on paper!
* Hanna Whitehall Smith -- The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life
Some Christians are misearable because the Christian life seems to be all about rules and things you can't do anymore. This classic Christian book will liberate. It shows how in the Bible God intends a happy relationship with His people. I'm half way through it and love it, but it's not for everyone. This is freely available in electronic form.
* The Hobbit -- J. R. R. Tolkien
This book IS for everyone! I hear it's really a children's story, but I like it. If you want to read Tolkien, this is the first one to read. Then the Lord Of the Rings series would naturally come next. It's about these fantasy creatures like hobbits, dwarves, elves, goblins, etc. But it's not "dark", it's just fun. But I don't plan to read the LOTR series... even though I like the Hobbit, one fantasy book at a time will be enough for me.
Incidently, I was lucky to find an electronic version of the book. But then I found out that it was an illegal copy and the publisher doesn't have an electronic version. Well, I still read it on my Sony Clie, but I went out and bought a paperback so that I'd be "legit". I have to admit I'm not always that careful, but I do try to stay legal.
