[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For one under the fun, summer beach read category - Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld. Just finished it the other night and couldn't put it down. Fun, easy read.[/quote]

Not OP, but I'm glad you liked it - I think I'm going to try Eligible this summer![/quote]

NP. I haven't read Eligible yet but Sittenfeld is one of my FAVORITE authors. Try her other book American Wife -- fiction based on the life of Laura Bush -- it's a fun, easy, juicy page turner. [/quote]

She's one of mine too! Any recommendations for similar reads now that I've read all of hers?[/quote]

I enjoy her books and there is a vibe in them that reminds me of Melissa Bank's books, A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing and The Wonder Spot. She has a great way with words - funny and a bit sad. [/quote]

I'm the PP who suggested American Wife. I also liked A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing!

Sittendfeld does coming of age stories really well. My other favorites are Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone and The Namesake, although they aren't much like Sittenfeld. Bo Caldwell's The Distand Land of My Father is also excellent. I second Margaret Atwood--- Cats Eye especially. [/quote]
