Since I am always asked what book I'm reading - not because I'm a HUGE reader or intellect - Ha! But because I think people are always looking for something good to read and it just comes up in conversation...I want to share with you the list of books that have all been highly recommended by someone in my book group. I'm sorry I can't tell you what each book is about - I haven't read only a few of these - but what I can tell you is at least one person in my book group was passionate about one of these books:
The Mapmaker's Wife - Whitaker Last of the Mohicans - Cooper and Wyeth
The Book Thief - Zusak Unaccustomed Earth - Lahiri
These is my Words - Turner Wild Swans - Chang
The Millionaire Next Door - Stanley The Red and The Black - Stendahl
Truth and Beauty - Patchett Grayson - Cox
A Long Way Gone - Beah A Midwife's Tale - Ulrich
Guns, Germs and Steel - Diamond The Boating Party - Vreeland
Bless Me, Ultima - Anaya Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - Kingsolver
The Thirteenth Tale - Setterfield
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Schaffer and Barrows
And these are the books that my group has decided to read this year:
The Cellist of Sarajevo - Gallaway To Kill a Mockingbird - Lee
The Last Lecture - Pausch Snow - Pamuk
