Yes! I love this one too and reread it every few years. OP, if you haven't read it definitely pick it up

Any suggestions?

Even better than that.

"Tuesdays with Morrie." <---- After reading this book, you will NEVER be the same person you were before you read this book. Promise.


Okay, I never do this--but the subject line specified "good" books.


How rude to respond like this.

Good is quite the subjective term and I was only offering up my suggestions.

If you didn't want my opinions, then don't ask for them next time.

For historical fiction, I recently enjoyed Teatime for the Firefly. I also love M.M. Kaye, especially The Far Pavilions. The Autobiography of Henry VIII (historical fiction) was also good.

A lot of people love Cutting for Stone, though it wasn't really to my taste.
