I’ll second Truth and Beauty

I nominate Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane

I’ll second The Cyberiad

I absolutely hated this book and have no desire to read it ever again. Holden Caulfield annoyed me so much I wanted to b..ch slap him. 🤣 Don’t gang up on me now, it’s just my opinion. . Thank goodness we all have different tastes.

I will second an Unfinished Love Sory

I’ll second Wide Sargasso Sea

I second North Woods

I’ll second People Of The Book

Esther a lot of people had a problem with the ending but I didn’t.

I read this awhile ago but I am interested in what other people think. The author is very good at evoking a time and a place.

I will second Losing Earth: A Recent History

I’ll second The Children’s Blizzard.

I’ll second Pride and Prejudice

I’ll second The Nickel Boys

I nominate Ahab’s Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund

I nominate One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest By Ken Kesey

I nominate The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

Thanks Greg. I have not really watched the news since the election and now I am mostly going to give up social media. The past week or so I have been having nightmares about the fears that I have over what is to come. I’m just going to hope that we get through the next 4 yrs with our democracy still intact.

Happy New Year everyone! I am going to resolve to do more reading and less doom scrolling. I plan on fully retiring at the end of June or at the very latest the end of the year. That could change if bird flu becomes transmittable from person to person. I still have PTSD from dealing with COVID at work and will not go through that again. I am down to only working one day a week. I just turned 69 and I’m getting tired. lol

I will second Patriot: A Memoir
