About This Author
|
| Books are like old friends to me and there are some I choose to revisit over and over. These may not Masterpieces to you, but they awaken in me an opportunity to be transported to other ages and other places. So, I thought today I would share my favorites with you. I know this list is not inclusive and that I will be adding to over the year. The one promise I can make to you is that if you read them, you will be entertained or perhaps even appalled by man’s inhumanity to man. In no particular order they are: Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly The Quickie by James Patterson & Friend Clan of the Cave Bear & Valley of the Horses by Jean Auel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell A Knight in Shining Armor & The Raider by Jude Devereaux Andersonville by McKinley Cantor Blood & Money by Tommy Thompson Windmills of the Gods by Sidney Sheldon A Time to Kill, The Client, and A Painted House by John Grisham Slipping & Dregs by Barri Bumgarden Papillion by Henri Charriere Hank the Cowdog #1 by Jon Erickson The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Go Ask Alice by Anonymous Showboat by Edna Ferber Desiree by Annemarie Selinko The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks Oliver Twist & David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Friendly Persuasion by Jessamyn West Roots by Alex Haley Small Sacrifices & This Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule Watchers & Dark Rivers of the Heart by Dean Koontz Fat Tuesday by Sandra Brown **If you listen to audiobooks, anything by Jennifer Cruise is wonderful. While she is a good read, in audio, her books and marvelous characters just jumpout at you in 3-D. Her characters are, for want of a better word, real CHARACTERS. They are blown up characterizations that are entirely believable. When you just want to lighten your mood, go to the library and ask for any audiobook by Jennifer Cruise. |
