What are some of your all-time favorite books?
I'm needing to solidify the book choice for our March Relief Society Book Group. I've had a couple of recommendations that I'm going to browse through. Maybe you've heard of one and can give me some feedback. Maybe you know just the perfect book that you LOVE and want to share. Please tell me!!
I'm currently re-reading one of my all-time favorite books, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. This is my second time and I love it just as much (if not more!) than the first time I read it. How can Tolstoy be so observant and descriptive of real-life conflicting emotions? I love that his story is anything but cliche. It's a tad long, and viewed by some as one of those "depressing Russian novels", both qualities that keep it from being an A-List book for our particular group of women.
We want to keep things G- or PG- rated, without always being in the Young Adult genre. Here are the books that have been brought to my attention:
* A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park
*The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
*America's Women: 400 Years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates, and Heroines by Gail Collins
*Christy by Catherine Marshall
*Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
*The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Denko
Thanks for any feedback and recommendations!
