Anything Sidney Sheldon writes.

On this site you'll probably get many people who have read  What Your Dr. may not tell you about Knee Pain and Surgery by R.P. Grelsamer, M.D.

I'd have to say my top three are:

DaVinci Code

The Emperors of Chocolate: Inside the Secret World of Hershey and Mars

Memoirs of a Geisha (That got me through the first few days after the TTT!)

i like reading sport biographies or sport related books.

my two favorite so far have to be:

Lance Armstrong's "It's Not Just About the Bike"

and

Travis Roy's "Eleven Seconds"

One as you most likely know fought cancer to return to cycling. The other became paralyzed after his first 11 second shift in his BU hockey game in a bad hit. Both are really inspiring and great books to read. (They make your knee injury feel not so bad anymore...)

Seabiscuit.. what an amazing story  ;D The movie is a tear jerker..you feel like you are right up there on that lil horse.  The horsewhisperer is also a really great book... but,  some adult scenes.. in the book. ;)   Deep Waters is also a really excellent read, but it's based on a true story and can be extremely disturbing.

I just read "The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon...Amazing.  
Also, "Les Noces Barbares" by Yann Queffellec
I am now reading "Fall on Your Knees" by Ann-Marie MacDonald...also very intriguing.  I have to add...I am almost done this one...It is amazing...if anyone gets the chance, please read it.  It is great.
