I both love and hate it. For folks I suspect won't be frightened by its length, I offer The Time Traveler's Wife. For those with shorter attention spans, I loan out copies of essays by Laurie Notaro or David Sedaris. I find most folks can make it through a Mitch Albom (even my sis who only reads in the hospital after bearing children), and that a lot of women like Jennifer Weiner and Jane Green for the beach. For dog lovers, Marley and Me. Lately I'm recommending two by Marisa de los Santos-- Love Walked In and Belong to Me. <BR/>My vote is for whatever gets someone reading. If they want to forever stick with sap or page-turners, I don't really get it, but I guess it takes all kinds. There are plenty folks who can't fathom why I can't work up an interest in Harry Potter.
