My Favorite Books

In a universe long ago and far, far away (last year).  I remember talking about talking about books.  Well, best laid plans....so here I go.

I have just read the most thoughtful and thought provoking book published by Twelve Press.  This was a publishing company formed in 2005 with the goal of publishing one book a month.  A quality book, with some substance. 

The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore is one of those books.  The only thing I can say is that it is a true  philosophical treatise on what it FEELS like to be human.  Many books are written on what it MEANS to be human, but this is a marvelous work of fiction.  Must read for those wishing a thought provoking read.

My other recommendation is Divergence.  This is a fascinating futuristic novel that I could not put down.   There is a sequel that I haven't read yet...but it is on my stack.


A few of my favorite all time ones for your reading pleasure:

The Book Thief

Atlas Shrugged

My Sister's Keeper

Time Traveler's Wife

Lord of the Flies

Catcher in the Rye

Middlesex


These are just a few to get started.  I have so many books that I seriously could open a used book store.  There is only one problem...my books aren't for sale.  I have probably at least 3000 books.  I have tried to go through all these bookshelves and boxes and I can come up with about 2 or 3  each time I am willing to give up.  Jeez...the foundation on my house will begin sinking soon.

Please post any suggestions for good reads, or if you want to talk about a book...go for it.
I could spend all day discussing books, gardening and food.  I am always open for another suggestion for a good book.  I will read anything to see how it reads.  I read Fifty Shades of Grey, something I never would have thought I would do.  I enjoyed it too!!!   So please, suggest away.

I am going to research how to create a discussion format on here for book or food talk.  I don't know if that is possible.  Until then, we will have to make do with the posting option.

Hope to hear lots of feedback.
