Best book you’ve read in the past 10 years?

[Anonymous]

I need an amazing book and I’m hoping someone can give me some inspiration!

It wasn't published in the last 10 years, but for me the answer is The Secret History, by Donna Tartt.

Can you pls identify a tiny bit so I know if I’d consider reading it.
Abuse, rape, gruesome, neglect, etc., I cannot deal with right now.

I actually listened to the audible version and also it's two books, but it's War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk and then it's sequel, Winds of War. It is the story of a navy family before and during WWII and it is epic. It's a great human story but also I learned an incredible amount about WWII. It's a lot of hours whether you read it or listen to it. I am actually listening to it now for the second time, the first time was ten years ago and although a lot is familiar I am picking up a lot more info and detail the second time around. I listen to it on long driving trips mostly. But, I highly recommend it. Oh, and just FYI, it was made into a pretty good movie starring Robert Mitchum.

Also, re the Herman Wouk books, I just saw this and I'm excited about it:

Two great books but "Winds of War" is the first book and "War and Remembrance" is the sequel. The movie adaption always bugged me because Pug was supposed to be on the short side...

Right! Thanks for the correction. I agree about Pug but also I love Robert Mitchum.
