Where do I start?
What's good?
What's hot?
What's cool?
What has rocked your world lately???
I need suggestions, STAT!
I don't read horror or sci-fi (I read about 500 sci-fi books in the 80s, and kind of overdosed on them)...
Where, in the great wide word of all things bookish, do I start?
Please help - in fact, feel free to send all your mates over to help, too - I'm really desperate and at sea, and totally pathetic, you'll be doing your humanitarian deed for the month!

Love how you don't count twilight as books - neither do i!!
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett is a good one, shot to fame by Oprah. It's not a very gripping blurb but it's very engaging.
I will say, perusing the Oprah lists is really not a bad place to start. She mostly picks winners. I kind of ignored her book shows until she picked up She's come undone, a book and author I love. They are usually readily available to borrow, buy second hand or at Kmart etc because of her recs as well.
A Map of the World, White Oleander, Poisonwood bible, all great books.
Thanks for the tip, Leah, and LOL at the Twilight series - had totally forgotten I read that! Obviously made a huge impression...
Jasper Jones, When God Was a Rabbit, Past the Shallows, The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore.
The Element by Ken Robinson. Hope you find something you enjoy!
