Calling All Avid Readers!

I've been cooking up a challenge for myself to stay occupied and keep me from counting down the months remaining until January (all systems a go for a much needed move to another state). It would go something like this, you the reader, would suggest to me a book to read. I will read anything once but I don't promise to read it until the end. I, the readee' (If thats even a word), will read said book and then post a review about it on my blog. I enjoy tasty horror noevels, suspense and thrillers, anything twisted, nothing particulary racy, toss in a good self help book here and there, maybe a YA. I'm wide open and willing to accept this challenge. I am not limited to just what I listed here. So readers, if you are out there, what do you think?
To suggest a book, just comment on this post.

Out Of Pocket

Yesterday while riding home on the train, I observed a mother and daughter. The mother was clearly upset, and had probably had a long day. The fact that her young daughter, who was sitting beside her, was ignoring her probably wasn't helping the poor woman. Finally she turns to the child and she says and not to gently either, "You have been out of pocket all day." The girl is clearly confused. She looks at her mother and says, "But I was never in my pocket." The harried mother laughed and hugged her daughter. The story would have had a Cinderellish ending had the girl not tried her luck later during the ride. In short, the mother ended up dragging the poor little girl, kicking and screaming, from the train.
