#Read26Indy discussion

If you had to pick one book to recommend everyone to read as one of their 26 books, which book would it be?

Mine would be Daemon from Daniel Suarez. It's a brilliant techno-thriller that goes beyond traditional computer-focused tech.

The Hours, by Michael Cunningham and Bel Canto by Ann Patchett

To Kill a Mockingbird

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Would have to be, "Same Kind of Different as Me"...

Les Misérables

Lonesome Dove. Seriously it's awesome. I didn't like Same Kind if Different as me.

I just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This book is being made into a movie this year. It was a great read.

I have been really debating this one in my head...
John Green's Fault in Our Stars is a great book and an Indiana author and it is set in Indy -- and everyone I strong-armed to read it has loved it!Plus, there's a great champagne hazelnut cupcake recipe created just for celebrating this book.

My name is Jeffrey Vollmer and I recently authored the Am-Nord Noir Novel: Faded Gray. Would love to share thoughts and talk Eurasian crime stories. Great reviews by peacecorpsworld.com Faded Gray

If you enjoy historical fiction, Lynn Austin has some excellent novels, a trilogy involving the civil war era, Candle in the Darkness, Fire by Night and Light to My Path, A. Her novel Until We Reach Home is also a very heartwarming story of three young girls from Sweden immigrating to America.

If you enjoy historical fantasy, we'd love it if you'd give my husband's new fantasy series a try. Books 1-4 have been published. There will be five more to come.
Guiamo, Cumoro, Morlanos and Inis Emain Ablach. They have received great reviews so far.

Looking forward to the Read26Indy challenge.

I can't pick just one, (I really tried!)...
I would recommend Defending Jacob by William Landay, Leota's Garden by Francine Rivers and Between Shades of Grey (not the series you may be thinking of). Lol

1984 by George Orwell (Are we currently living it?)

Safely Home by Randy Alcorn; Unbroken - Laura Hillebrand

Just a thought for those recommending books. If you use the add book feature above the comment, then we can quickly click on the book without having to search to see if it's one we want to add to our list to read.

Those sound interesting Kristen, I'll check them out.

The Known World
"The Known World," by Edward P. Jones

For anyone still looking for suggestions, I recommend The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil (the head of Artificial Intelligence for Google). Be prepared to be simultaneously amazed and freaked out by the prospects for the future of humanity.

Gone Girl by Gilliam Flynn
