    Paper Towns - :star4: I loved this book. It had a slow start, but I can't imagine it starting any other way. Once you get a little more than half-way through, it really picks up speed. There were times, however, where it was really hard for me not to skip a few paragraphs closer to the end...

    *$20 Amazon Card CONTEST* - What inspired your love of reading?

    As a child, I read every now and again, usually stuff like Romana Quimby and Goosebumps, but it wasn't until I was about 12 when I really understood what a great book could do for me. I borrowed a random book from my school library because of a class assignment. I didn't even know what it was...

    Has anyone read The Crimson Petal and the White? I honestly ONLY purchased the book because it was long. I needed a quick purchase and it was the first one I laid eyes on. I will admit that it was really well done, but I hated the ending so much, I threw the book. I have never had that...

    Hopefully right section for this.. Question for both Readers and Authors

    I would prefer if an author is going to make a suggestion, that recommend what THEY read. I want know what you are reading, not what you are writing. I agree with Bob, I would treat it as spam.

    What scares you the most...

    Spiders and aliens. Spiders because...well, isn't it obvious? Aliens scare the mess out of me. I get all creeped out when I think of life forms on other planets.

    Holocaust

    One of the best survivor books I have ever read is The Secret Holocaust Diaries: The Untold Stories of Nonna Bannister. It's essentially a book comprised of diary entries by Nonna. When she came to America, she kept it to herself, so her family didn't even know until decades had passed. I cried...

    murakami fans???

    Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. I absolutely loved it. Murakami has this awesome ability to keep you guessing. This book was like a puzzle.

    Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre

    I read Jane Eyre the first time as a teenager and it really stuck with me. I have read it numerous times since then and have seen several movie adaptations of it. I don't understand why there is such a draw to rewriting the classics with bizarre plot twists...Like Pride and Prejudice and...
