Newbie looking for advice

i joined to try and find somebody to discuss books with as well as get suggestions for good books. I'm in a 19th century "rut." Would really like to find something more modern to read (after I read Rememberance of Things Past, which I just started). Thanks!

RE: Newbie looking for advice

ering, you have come to the right place to find a wide range of reading tastes from many countries.
Things are rather quiet here at the moment but check some of the back-threads to get an idea of what other RP'ers have been reading and do join in with any discussions or start your own thread.

Welcome erin, and Vee gives good advice. You will find a wide range of reading tastes here. Try the monthly 'what are you reading' threads for some good ideas.

Welcome ering -- Over the years I have discovered many, many wonderful books thanks to recommendations from wide-reading RPers.

Welcome !!
You sure have found the perfect place.
Not only are these amazingly diverse readers, but really nice people as well.
There isn't a question that you could pose which can't be answered in the absolute best way.

The recommendations are always fantastic.
Like Sarah, I've also found wonderful books from RP.

Hello erin, many welcomes! As you hang around here, you will find others with the same tastes as yourself and your pile of To Be Read books will grow taller than Jack's beanstalk. Have fun!

Welcome! We do have fun here. Tastes run from bestsellers to YA lit to genre fiction to literary fiction to classics. All are welcomed and respected.

I second the recommendation to check the regular monthly What-are-you-reading thread. In fact, I just put two books on hold at the library that were suggested on that list.
