Great Reader Recommendations For Reading For Pleasure
We’ve had many GREAT recommendations for books, and I want to share some of them with you. Thanks, everyone, and please keep on sending books that you read for pleasure so that we can share them with others.
Next week, we’ll get back to more business and philosophy-related topics. For now, I’m looking forward to getting all of these books that I haven’t yet read and making friends with them.
From a reader in Florida:
My favorite book right now is “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.” Wonderful book about a mute boy and his dogs. It is told from several points of view including Almondine, his personal pet that he grows up with. Wonderful story, incredibly evocative writing and a great read for a dog lover! Also love “Peace Like a River.”
From a reader in Northern California:
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
The Covenant by James Michner
Hawaii by James Michner
Secrets of the Talking Jaguar by Martin Prectel
The Legacy of Luna by Julia Butterfly Hill
The Holy Man by Susan Trott
Of Water and Spirit by Maladamo Petrice Some
The Bridge Between Worlds by Linda Baker
Collision With the Infinite by Suzanne Segal
From a reader from California’s Central Coast:
“The Historian” from a few years ago was great – by Elizabeth Kostova
“Molokai” by Alan Brennert was a very good read.
I am currently reading (slowly) James D. Houston’s “Bird from Another Heaven,” also about Hawaii.
From a reader in Massachusetts:
“The Time Traveler’s Wife” had a tremendous impact on me. I even read this novel out loud to my husband. Naturally, the novels of Garcia Marquez…. “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.” “The English Patient.”
