Books I Loved

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett -An epic story set in the 1100s, an amazing historical novel.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova -Think the Da Vinci Code, but with Dracula instead of Mary and Jesus. This is another great example of Historical fiction.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon -A great murder mystery set in post war Barcelona about the power of books.

The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster -This is an uplifting book about a man trying to improve the lives of people around him while he battles cancer.

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen -One of the best love stories that I have read in years set in a traveling circus during the depression.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt -College can be dangerous, another murder mystery showcasing the dangers of Academia and elitism.

No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy -Think Pulp Fiction meets The Unforgiven. This is brutally violent story about a man with no luck, not for the squeamish.

Little Children by Tom Perrotta -This book finally proves that the suburbs can be exciting and dangerous places to live.
