books!

Does anyone have any good book recommendations? I'm going to be doing a lot of flying in the next few weeks, and I'd love some suggestions. I have The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon but that will only do me part of the journey. Anyone have any recs for some good, engrossing chicklit?

I second the rec for PS I Love You. I liked the movie fine, but the book was much better. And I just snagged If You Could See Me Now off the Barnes & Noble bargain shelf, so I'm glad to hear that it's good as well.

I read Sushi For Beginners by Marian Keyes and wasn't sure what to think. I might need to try another of hers.

Sushi isn't one of my favorites. That one uses multiple narrators and I find her first-person voice is much stronger and more engaging.

If you haven't read Rosie Dunne, that one might be my favorite of Ahern's. It's got the best friends falling for each other plotline that I tend to love.

Well I adore Lee/Kara, so the comparison to Rosie Dunne makes me very interested to pick it up. I love the best friends in love plotline, too. And I'll definitely have to check out the other Marian Keyes books you recommended.

I didn't see the movie because of my irrational dislike for Hillary Swank, so I'm glad to hear the book was better. I shall endevour to track down a copy.

And Sushi for Beginners was the Marian Keyes I'd read and not liked! Maybe it's that book. Hmm.
