Well, if you want to read a really good book by a new author, I would advise a book entitled, "99 Questions You Must Ask a Man Before Sleeping with Him & Definitely Before Having SEX." It's by Armani Valentino. I met him at the Bronner Bros. Show and he is a very sincere person! I love the book! www.armanivalentino.com -Michelle, Chi-town

I would like to advise Ms. Dunn below to print this list and take it to her local Borders or Barnes & Nobles or logon to their respective websites to research these authors and the books that have made it onto this list. It would probably benefit you greatly to expand your knowledge of different authors and literature. Happy reading!
