I originally posted this as a follow-up comment to my post My Reading List Needs Help! But when I realized just how long my response was I decided to post directly to the blog.
Thank you everyone for the reading suggestions. It's nice to know that the visitors to my blog have similar tastes in books. For example:
Jan - I've read every Anya Seton novel that I can get my hands on. The Winthrop Woman is my favorite. It is quite possibly the best book I've ever read.
Nancy - I've also read the entire Outlander series. I enjoy HUGE books also. Shogun was great and 1,600 pages!
Wendy - I read Marley & Me while I was doped-up after my back surgery. I might have to revisit that one.
Gropey - I've seen Three Cups of Tea in the store but never picked it up. Perhaps you can loan it to me when you're finished, pretty please?
Kristen - Through Anya Seton I found Phillipa Gregory. I enjoyed the Other Boleyn Girl... so much better than the movie. I'll have to check out the People of the Book. I haven't heard of that one.
KB - Yes, I've read Pillars of the Earth and World Without End and loved them both. My husband gave me a hard time because I had nightmares about the plague while reading the second book. I've also read The Templar Legacy. My father has loaned all sorts of Templar related books to me. Also, I will have to check out Burr. Especially since an ancestor of mine shot him.
Thank you for all the other suggestions. I will take a look at all of them. I prefer supporting my local book store but this might require a visit to Amazon. I also think that I might need to step outside my comfort zone a little bit to find some new books.

One day in the far future I sooooo look forward to having time to read again. :=) 10 or 15 years you think?
BK (before kiddos), I read at least a book a week and now it's more like a book every 4 years. Well, unless science textbooks count. I firmly believe they DO NOT!
I'm with you that I don't like for my books to be completely mindless chatter, although I also do not want to deal with what ails the world. I want to escape.
I was out today because of a sick sitter and I've enjoyed catching up on your blog. Love the new layout!
