My whole life has been defined by reading. As a child, I was a total bookworm. Brought my books everywhere: at my parent's dinner parties, church, and snuck them behind my textbooks in school. I re-read everything- it wouldn't be unusual for me to read a favorite 6-7 times. I would get in trouble for reading under the covers after the lights were supposed be out.
So, it has concerned me in my life when I've stopped reading. Like now- it's been a few months since I've really been into anything, and it's not for lack of trying. I've been to see Jeanette Winterson speak this spring, and bought and enjoyed a few chapters of her memoir. I've flown through some easy reads, and tried buying other novels from favorite authors. But nothing is really pulling me in, in that can't-put-it-down, have-to-read-this-every-second-I-have-a-chance, so-bummed-I've-finished-it, sort of way. The last time this happened, about 8 years ago, my wise friend advised me to read Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club. Which worked. I was happily back into reading, and soon after discovered Barbara Kingsolver, by way of The Poisonwood Bible, which was a page turner. Then, Nicole Krauss' History of Love was the next to be saturated.

So, now that you know my favorite kinds of books, let me know, what should be the next read that will pull me back in?
I loved Middlesex when I read it a few years back. The Virgin Suicides is by the same author and I would definitely recommend reading it.
