I'm going to give you an extra bonus;
One of the absolute funniest authors I have ever read is Laurie Notaro.
I originally read her Christmas book, (below) and thought it was Laugh Out Loud Funny ! I actually would say " Listen to this..."(Didn't know I was a talker did ya?)
All of this authors books are so funny, you may laugh until you cry. You'll want everyone you know to join inthe fun, unquestionably the funniest books I've ever read . She's like every woman, and you'll recognize yourself in some of the stories. If you haven't read any of her books-- try'em- they're a riot, you're gonna love 'em.

The Stand
Stephen King
1168 pages
Probably one of my earliest memories of a great book. The story pulls you in as you learn about the characters, and their journey across the country after a flu like epidemic wipes out the majority of the population. A good versus evil story, and one of my very favorite Stephen King books, although there are others I've enjoyed. If you want a great big fat page turner of a book, this is it.
Magic Hour
Kristin Hannah
416 pages
1st, this book is probably more a "women's read"--but I'll tell you what- I loved it so much I bought my sister a copy. Julia Gates is a child psychiatrist. After a tragedy occurs and makes national news, she receives a call from her sister. Of course she hasn't talked to the sister in years. ( Predictable you say? Ah ha you would be sooooooo wrong). Her sister asks Julia to come back to their hometown to help with a young girl who can't speak. This child has obviously been hurt and broken in ways no one can fathom. But this little girl "Alice" has more strength than many adults. This book will grab hold of your heart and absolutely will not let it go. I've read all of Kristin Hannahs' books but this is my absolute favorite.
