I'll read anything you put in front of me, and at an alarming pace. I was that kid in elementary school sneak-reading Nancy Drew books during Social Studies class. Some favorites off the top of my head:

Jen Lancaster

Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts series

Steven Landsburg. Economics is interesting. Really!

Maeve Binchy

Also, I'm a magazine junkie!

Boondock Saints The Departed Boiler Room Miracle Sweet Home Alabama About a Boy 10 Things I Hate About You
