I must say that I'm not a big reader but if I begin to read a book the first page has to keep me interested..(I'm the impatient and bored-easily type) However two books that I recommend highly, especially to the ladies, are "Memoirs of a Gesiha" and "Summer Sisters" These are the kind of books that once you read the first line, you can't put them down. They were so awesome!!!! I'm reading "Memoirs" again because I loved it so damn much!
