I have a spine,but no heart. I can take you places,but i have no legs. I can be interesting,but i have no personality.

What am I?

A Book?

Exactly One of my favorite things... a good book.

Do you like to read too Sunshine? what's the last good book you read?
Any suggestions for some good books to read?

I really don't like to read. I would rather do things with my hands, such as beading, working with wire, stamping, baking, sewing and gardening. I have been working on my family tree and enjoy the research it takes to connect families.

I do alot of reading it's usually on the net. Dart Pug gave me a copy of a good Star Wars novel, but I only read it on occasion so I'm only 3/4 of the way through. It's good if you like science fiction. I use to read lots of SciFi books but I find myself lacking time these days.

Salvatore is a good writer but he's more well know his fantasy novels. I think DP has read most all his books.

The New Jedi Order
Vector Prime
by R.A. Salvatore

Of course, there's the cat who ... books by Lilian Jackson Braun .. quick, fun reads. Nice books to take on a trip.
I know I'm leaving some folks out but this is a list of good writers.

Someone I've just started reading is Alice Hoffman. I don't know quite how to describe her writing ... it's mostly about life in New England but she sticks some of the supernatural into it too. Excellent, excellent writer. Keeps you reading on.

A start here for you, sirwen. I'm a big reader and read just about anything.
