Yep, read The Help and loved it. Not sure I want to see the movie after watching the preview of it...not at all what my mind had pictured!

Thanks Alffe! I love reading the books more than watching the movies. I guess with the book I get to choose what things look and sound like.

I read almost constantly! I hope to do some writing eventually. I highly recommend Diana Gabaldon's books: Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, and An Echo in the Bone. When I first got hooked, reading Outlander, my mind would linger with the characters even when I had to put the book down to get my work done. I would be sitting at my desk, on hold with some insurance company, thinking "I wonder if Claire will go back to her first husband or stay with her 23-year old Scottish Catholic virgin second husband? Who is Jamie, really?"
Much of the story takes place in Scotland beginning in 1743, right up through the American Revolution in the wild mountains of the colonies. There are also more modern bits, with a twist. There's a lot of medical information, both herbal and surgical. It's often shelved under Romance, but it's really more Historical Fiction.
