I just finished Beach Road by James Patterson and am looking for a new fun read. Anyone have any suggestions?

You should post that book to PBS, there are 122 people waiting in line for it.
Including me......
You join PBS (PaperBackSwap : Your source for swapping books online!) and list your books by entering their ISBN numbers. Then, if someone "orders" one of your books, you get an email, print out a mailer, wrap the book in it, and send it to them. You pay the postage (usually $2.13).
When you order a book, you get it for free.
My plan is to use PBS for the times that my library doesn't have a particular book (e.g. four pillars), and for gifts.
I have been a member of PBS for over a year and it is great. I have about 75 books listed and have traded for about 20 so far and have about 15 credits saved up. Trading books for just the price of postage! The best ones to submit for trade are very recent bestsellers or one of a kind, hard to find books like old sci-fi. There is a shortage of financial how to books, in case you all have any of those laying around. I am 4th in line of 25 for Bogleheads guide to investing and 10 of 16 for the 4 pillars.....if anyone has a spare copy.

Great book if a bit long, The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
For the women: I am less than 1/2 way through "The Hot Flash Club" by Nancy Thayer, and I love it! I just found out it's the first in a series, so I'll be set with reading material for a while. It's about 4 women, ages 52-62, and I can SO relate to some of their feelings and experiences.

Have you tried your public library?
I have been going on line where one can access anything within the city library system. Upon finding what I want I have it sent to the branch nearest my house (no cost). So far I have been able to find anything I wanted by Bogle, Armstrong, Bernstein, Swedroe, Malkiel, Shiller, etc.
