iRead

I started a thing called iRead on my page or maybe there already was one and I joined. (Isn't that sad I don't even understand what's on my own page - to be truthful, I didn't do it my tech guy did) and I am not even sure how to work it. (He's coming over today to explain it to me). He started it because I am always talking about reading - I buy books like a crack addict buys rocks.

Of course, I started out with my own book. But I am a fan of reading and I want to really use the iRead thing so we can have discussions about books. So while I am learning how to work this thing I am putting a general call out. Any recommendations on good books? How about book types? What kind of things do you enjoy reading?

And if you don't read what do you think would get you interested? Don't back off cause its not your thing. MySpace wasn't mine but I tried it and liked it.
I read a lot of history and non fiction but I do read some novels. So give me some suggestions. My husband says the stuff I read is too academic. (and I'll admit I like things thick and fact filled). But I'm willing to expand my horizons.

We could start with mine (it's an easy read and cheap - only $3.00 on Amazon last I looked - but we don't have to) If there is something good anyone of you would like to recommend let's work with it. I'd really like to have an interactive talk. (again I'll have to learn how) but let's stretch out here.
