The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. I loved this book and devoured it!
I would have to pick A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Most amazing book I’ve read in a long time!
Alrighty… I could be mean and post a beast like Atlas Shrugged…
…but instead, I’ll say The Ezekiel Option by Joel Rosenberg. Great read, goes by fast (almost too much so). The others in the series are good, too, but that’s the best.
I’m a book pimp and will suggest more than one and leave it up to you to pick because I love this stuff!
A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel. Totally under the radar and EVERYONE should read it. Seriously.
Seabiscuit by Hillenbrand. If you saw the movie and loved it, this will knock your socks off. Amazing in every way.
Shutter Island (can’t remember the author). Being made into a movie right now with Michelle Williams. This book blew me away. The movie better not suck. Great mystery/thriller that’s not gory. Read it. Read it right now!
There. I’m done. Be off with you to the nearest library!
I am a bookworm, known to be manic so I am pulling from my list from last year’s reads and will let you select:
life on the refrigerator door: Notes between a Mother and Daughter by Alice Kuipers
Christopher’s Ghosts by Charles McCarry
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
Dream When You’re Feeling Blue by Elizabeth Berg
Ooh, power. I should say some stupid book. Something sci-fi maybe.
Or not.
I’d say “House of Mirth” by Edith Wharton. I know you said something about Age of Innocence, but I didn’t know if you’ve read “House of Mirth.” It’s totally worth a reread if you have already read it. At least I want to reread it.
A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers
My book club is reading this one, and it is great.
The Cross And The Switchblade by David Wilkerson. I’ve read it twice and feel like picking it up again. I believe you’ll enjoy it.
