Dori's Top Five Book Picks

So many books, so little time...here are a few good reads in no particular order

The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan
She's the author of Joy Luck Club and this novel like many of her others revolves around a Chinese American woman. Its hard to describe exactly what the book is about, but its a great read. Easy to get into and very intriguing.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
This book is a great read once you get into it. A little slow at the beginning, but very well worth sticking with it.

The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks
He's the guy who wrote the Notebook and other chick books. I love them all, and this one is especially good. Set in NC like his other books, this one is an easy read.

Travels by Michael Crichton
The famous author writes about some of his experiences traveling. Its an interesting insight into his life.

Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser
Not only a page turner, this book will make you think. Its easy to read and MUCH better than the movie. The author looks at the history of fast food and how fast food shapes our culture.

Ooh, The Time Traveler's Wife is really, really a good book! I read that last summer and loved it. If no one has it, I know the suffolk libraries has it! Do read! I had just been to Western Ireland when I was reading it, and totally had visions of there in my mind as I read.
