Five short stories on life’s stages. The older I get, the more I cherish slowing things down and appreciating the little things. Just a pleasant, quick read.

Want to become a better reader? Then READ MORE POETRY! Better yet, read funny collections like this one by comedian Gabbie Hanna.

Interesting book to classify. Partly thriller, partly funny and definitely controversial to the religious-set, which always makes for a potential best seller!

I cannot write a better review than the great one listed by Kirkus Review. To paraphrase Kirkus, “Genuinely charming…A romance that involves meddlesome cats, fate, and lots of musings on Goethe, Kafka, and Rilke…[It] highlight[s] the magic in the ordinary…Samuel, full of awkwardness and good intentions, is an easy protagonist to root for.”

Aaron Burcham says it best, “Healing. This book is not just about travel, it's about seeing the world with open eyes. Truly one of my favorite books and good for anyone with a wanderlust or appetite for life itself.”

It’s about to open its doors, and the world--at least those with the means to afford it--will be welcomed into a palace of opulence and unparalleled security.

A wonderful thriller by a rookie author that you’ll devour.

A collection of three novellas that serve as a wonderful expansion to the SOS world and offer another puzzle piece in the heart-pounding world filled with shadowy conspiracies and bold hacktivists.

One of my favorite short novels and a wonderful movie with Peter Sellers, Shirley McLaine and Melvyn Douglas. Satire written in the 70s about the wonderful character known as Chauncey Gardiner, an imbecile whose world revolves around television that rises to the highest echelons of power in American politics.

Tolstoy is best known for the lengthy War and Peace, but we lazy readers can still impress folks at cocktail parties by mentioning we devoured the much shorter Death of Ivan Ilyich. Can’t say this book brought a lot of joy to me as I read it, but I certainly was happy to finish it!

Have to admit that I had limited exposure to O’Connor and was quite taken by this collection of short stories. She has a wicked sense of humor – but in that sweet, Southern-charming way. What a gifted writer!

Incredible entry by the Nobel Prize-winning author, Sula tells the tale of two little girls growing up in a poor, black neighborhood nestled in the barrio known as “The Bottom.” As they grow older and separately, the two friends become something worse than enemies in this brilliantly written novel.

Can’t believe I just discovered this gem about a Pakistanti Princeton grad trying to navigate subtle and blatant bigotry in a post-911 world. Provocative and heart-wrenching.

Bodell shows how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity and make simplification a habit in this quick, engaging and informative read (strike that – for the point of simplification, let’s just call it an “essential” read).
