I've read like 5 books in a row that are only 1-2 stars. I am in such a drought! I may give up reading forever......

I'm almost finished Revival by Stephen King, and it's pretty good. I don't know if it's your style. It's not really a horror, it's mostly just a drama, and at the end he throws in a little horror for kicks.

Have you read Wool, by Hugh Howey? If not I'd recommend it, and its sequels Shift and Dust.

Time and Again by Jack Finney is an older book but it's really good.

On the topic of older books, one of my favorites of all time is Love Story by Erich Segal. If you haven't read that, it's a must-read.

I also really enjoy books by William Goldman. If you haven't read him, check him out.

Thank you both. Spudd, I actually looked for Love Story as I've seen it before but thought it was likely cheesy. Library didn't have it. :(

Holds are back at my library (they were suspended for a few months) so I'm getting some decent stuff in. I read 3/4 of Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld last night. REally liking it.
