Any suggestions?

I always hate it when I'm about to finish a book that I really love. Right now I am reading "The House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende. The way Allende tells the story of this Chilean family is quite unique and addicting. I feel totally engrossed by the story and I know I will be a bit said when it ends.

If anyone has any suggestions on which book I should read next, I would love to hear them.

I'm reading the The Fountainhead right now by Ayn Rand. I went into it thinking I'd hate it, but it's actually growing on me. There are 700 pages and it's taken me 6 months to get 500 pages into the book...but that's just 'cause I'm not a consistent reader. Anyway, you should look into it!

the house of the spirits is such a wonderful book! it actually ruined a vacation in tuscany i took a few years ago-i was so into the book, i paid no attention to anything else! i missed most of the sights, fun and food-but i read the book at least once a year.

allende's book "paula" is really great too. really emotional! check it out.
