ParticipantI just finished The Hangman’s Curse by Frank Peretti. Freaky book, not one you want to read alone in your room at dusk.

MemberLong time, no post. I’m currently reading War and Peace, the book I’ve been working on for the last 3-4 months. I’m a wee bit over 80% through it. (SPOILER! SPOILER! I just read the part where Prince Andrew dies.) I really like it!
I’m a fan of those authors that really put themselves into their books. It seems now a days you don’t need to do much to get yourself published, you just need to write an interesting tale. Old classics are books with a created tale, that seems so much more realistic. It’s a tale that is more like the life around you and you can so easily live as you read along.Or something like that.
So, I just spent an hour in the teeny nearby Borders. I bought nothing.
My guyfriend got me a gift card for Christmas and I’m at a loss for what to get! Anyone got any recommendations? I thought about Wicked or Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, but I don’t like Maguire enough to actually purchase one of his books. I also considered Pride & Prejudice and Zombies because my guyfriend tells me it is hilarious, but the cover and zombies are a wee bit disgusting. I don’t want a classic because my parents ownmost of the classics so I can just borrow any of those from them.
So. I don’t want to just pick a book off the shelf and buy it, I’d have the vast probability of disliking it. I need some recommendations of your favorite history or fiction books that would likely be in a Borders shop. Okay? Fire away!
