Well, I’m going to be the odd one and suggest “Diana” just because you’ve had it awhile now and have not yet read it! It’s going to be very different from all those other books and certainly not as spiritual. Nevertheless, it is very well written and is quite the love story.

In reply to Jessica. You are the third person who has told me they read The Chosen, Jessica. The Francine Rivers books were recommended by a friend who's an avid reader and she said, "I. Could. Not. Put. Them. Down." And they're set initially in Switzerland, one of my Calgontakemeaway places. What are you reading right now?

I’m catching up on my blog reading and loved seeing your pile of books!!! It makes me happy to just to look at it!! I read The Chosen many years ago and remember enjoying it even though it’s a bit vague in my mind at this point. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Francine Rivers so I would have to recommend starting with anything she has written.

Amazingly I haven’t read any of these at all – so I’ll be interested to hear what you think of them. My only advice would be to read something that looks nice, not too heavy and uplifting!!!

I did Lit at uni & yeah, I read fast. Besides most of the year I do boats & choir waits so I get time.

In reply to Carey. Now I know what not to start with, Carey. I am anxious to read it though. Maybe after Ben Hur? :D

So many books…so little time! Actually, I would advise that you start with something other than Kristin Lavransdatter. The book is well written – pulls you in right from the get go, but I can’t say that I actually liked it. By the time I reached page 1100, I had too much time invested to just put it down and walk away. It was a relief to finish it…but not a satisfying relief. Never have had this happen before when reading. We’ll have to talk more about it once you’ve read it!

In reply to Ganeida. What a book list! You must be a speed reader to accomplish all you do. :)
