Angle of Repose, Wallace Stegner

Anna Karenina

Read it and see why.

Theophilus North by Thornton Wilder

Gentleman in Moscow. It's like hanging out with a good person with a good view of life. It's not what I expected from the summary.

The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien.

Not because it's the world's most significant written epic. But because I read it as an emotional and fantasy-loving teen, after the childhood hors-d'oeuvres of Narnia, Prydain, etc, and it was perfect for me at that time. I can remember the spring foliage and the sun-warmed rock on which I read the part where Frodo and Sam reach Ithilien, and that land seemed quite similar to where I was at the time: a forest, next to a capital city, where you could find little bits of trash hidden in lush greenery - remnants of a polluting civilization encroaching on natural beauty.

I still reread it regularly, and I love every page of it.

The Captive Prince by CS Pacat

My answer will change depending on my mood but perhaps something like Little Prince. So charming and cute. Always brings a smile to my face and my kids’.

I have read so many but one that always stayed in my ❤️ is “Tuesdays With Morrie.”

I had to read it in college for a class & I vividly remember when I asked the librarian about it - she shed tears as she relayed to me what the story premise was.

Afterward I shed tears as well.

I can’t answer this question! It depends too much on genre, mood, age I read it and if it held up on subsequent reads (or not, but I still have some affection for it), etc!

What kinds of books do you like??

I did like Greek/roman gods prior to the book and I’m sure it’s not for everyone. It stuck with me for years. I like there audio version too.

I loved it too!

Nobody's Fool.

Because it portrays flawed humans with so much humor and empathy.

I don't think I could pick just one, but I really loved Cloud Cuckoo Land and still think about it more than a year after reading it.

Far Tortuga. Impossible to explain why.
