This looks like fun! Which books do you want everyone to read?!
I did go around telling (annoying!) people to read Kite Runner back in school.. and more recently The Hungry Tide.. been a while since I read a book which induced the need to make others read it too! Does buying my fav books for kids for their birthdays count?
Any and every book by Mitch Albom and Paulo Coelho. I was the one pestered to death by friends obsessed with Harry Potter and Twilight (I did read ’em and didn’t regret it). Though it’s been awhile since I’ve read too. 😊
Turns out I’ve not read any Mitch Albom! Surprising..! I love Paulo Coelho and Alchemist is generally the book I suggest for new readers or anyone looking to get back into the reading game. although technically is books are all about giving hope and optimism.. if i read too many Coelho’s in a row, I kinda feel depressed. It’s very weird. Is it just me or happens with u too?!
I think I know what you feel. After I read Coelho, the world feels weird and empty but it’s also empowering when you read it. Hm. With Albom, start with either Tuesdays with Morrie or Five people you meet in Heaven.
Yess exactly! World feels empty and perhaps as if you arent doing enough with ur lives.. I feel empowered if I stop at one book at a time.. too many in a row, I begin to question how i have been living my life a bit too intensely i suppose!
I’m a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong (yes, I’m a fantasy story girl), but the only book that I want to recommend to everyone is Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes. I don’t know why I like it so much since it was quite a depressing tale, but everything about its characters just strike a chord with me.
I love fantasy fiction esp with a strong female characters! I have so far been reading Tamora Pierce, LOTR, brandon sanderston types.. never heard of Kelley Armstrong but her books look like just the type which would appeal to me!
19 mins seriously sounds rather depressing.. I’m all for depressing tales if they end with a ray of hope in the horizon. Does that happen?
Armstrong’s novels always have strong, capable heroine which is why I love it so much. And it is also a bit dark, exactly how I like my fantasy fiction these days. I’ll recommend Women of The Otherworld if you want to start reading her work.
There is rays of hope in 19 Minutes, but the overall tone of the story is more sobering. It’s like a cautionary tale about how impactful what we did or didn’t do could be for those around us.
@isthatacorner – has the tagging thing begun to work?! Hope it has cuz I really would like to hear from u – from ur moving out posts, I gather that ur something of a crazy book worm!
