The Help...third finished....so far, very good. Want to see it before I see the movie.

Am in the middle of The Help and just can't get into it. Hubs read it and really enjoyed it and it's been so acclaimed by most critics that there's a movie coming out soon of it.

Must get back to my iPad and plug along again until it catches me.

I know... I have it but havn't started it yet. I also want to read it before I see the movie!!!

The Art Of Racing in The Rain is the same way... hard to get into and hard to put down when you do!

I have never been a reader up until about 5 years ago at which I started reading quite a bit. A little over 2 years ago I lost my motivation to read and haven't read since.

When I read your OP the first book that came to mind was The Art of Racing in the Rain and it wasnt too long after reading it that I lost my motivation, but not because of the Racing book. I did love that book and it's the only book I kept after reading because I wanted to re-read it sometime into the future. However, I have about 4 boxes of books that I haven't read yet packed for our move to TV, and at the rate I'm reading I think I'll have to be re-incarnated a couple of time before I can get caught up and back to the Art of Racing!

I really enjoyed The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri. It's a collection of short stories about Indians, and most of the stories take place in Boston, but a few are in India. I love reading about different cultures.

On another note, a friend gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday this week, and I can't find anything on their website that sounds REALLY, REALLY good to read. Racing in the Rain sounds very sad (I don't want a sad book for my birthday book), and 24 Hours sounds scary (I find I don't enjoy books where children are at risk anymore. Yes, I know it's fiction, but still...)

I LOVED The Help. Finished it in 2 days! lol

Any suggestions for my gift card?
