Outlander Series
Everyone has books that they love, that they just can't get enough of. I am reading (drum roll) for the third time, the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I am just enamored with these books. This love story trumps Romeo and Juliet one hundred fold. I don't care that it's going to take me 6 months to read all the books, it's a journey that I look forward to.
For those of you who haven't read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, I highly recommend it. Don't be intimidated by the length of the books. You will read through them faster than a 100 page book. You will NOT want to put these books down.
I might also add that Outlander has a cult following. Crazed fans have set up websites devoted to the books. Below are some of my favorite:

Advice
You may find that you have a bit of difficulty when first reading the books. The prose is beautiful and peppered with words you may need a dictionary for. There is Gaelic throughout and I am sure I pronounce it wrong, but just go with it. This book will knock you off your feet and you will hunger for the rest of the books, I promise!
About Outlander
There is no greater romance than the story of Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp. Claire finds herself back in the 1700's after falling through the stones in Scotland. A woman that every female will want to become, Claire faces the reality that she may never return to her husband Frank and the life that she knew. And then along comes Jamie Fraser. The man you will pine for, the man that you will sigh over and wish you had. A Highland Scot from the Clan Fraser, Jamie meets Claire and their worlds turn upside down. In this historical fiction novel, readers will be swept away in a love story that tests the bounds of time.
