 Help me, please. 

I have asked before, but it was over two years ago.

Tell me what one book I should buy. I'm not picky on genre, anything goes. You all read and you all talk about favorites, so rec me, please.

Lots of people absolutely love that book . . . I personally liked it and enjoyed it, but I never seemed to understand why people loved it so much.

Some of my suggestions are Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, though I've heard the other book he has published's great, too. I really enjoyed Colleen McCullough's The Thorn Birds and, oh, oh, if you're looking for some sweet fantasy you've got Nicholson's trilogy the Wind Singer (he's the one that wrote the screenplay for Gladiator).

It's just the characters, the way Henry and CLaire interact with each other, the general tone and style it's written in, that's kind of dreamy, occasionally abstract, and... I don't know, it's what I always pick up on the nights when I'm kind of broody and nostalgic and longing for Dubai and can't sleep, and it suits my mood perfectly.

Hosseini's meant to be good, but I've never been inspired to pick up one of his books.

Okay, for sure adding The Kite Runner to the list because I've had other people rec that to me. I've never heard of The Thorn Birds, but I'm willing to take a look. *grins* And oh! I loved Gladiator, so, *adds The Wind Singer trilogy.

Thanks, Sharon! *hugs*
