***that isn't about a murder?***
I loved Outlander but don't want to read a historical romance.
I want to read a can't-put-down book by a very talented author. Most writers over-write and I can't get past the first chapter. I enjoyed 'Wild' as she was a fantastic writer.
Please recommend a really great book I can take to the beach without it being a cheesy romance. Not really into mysteries or spy type books. Thank you!
Why would you post the last line to a book? Way to ruin it! Ok, it sounds awful to me so I personally wouldn’t read that one, but seriously why would someone post the ending for people who haven’t read it?
You all have some very different ideas of a beach read than I do. I want something light and engaging and not something that requires a lot of concentration.
I like books by JoJo Moyes and Kristin Hannah when I want something on the lighter side. Kristin Hannah does have some deep topics though.
Or you can go super light by starting the Shopaholic books.[Google?
I would agree with you, but the OP was very specific in her tastes. I read it as she doesn't want fluff. I love Sophie Kinsella as a good beach read. I loved Fannie Flagg novels, and Erma Bombeck and Nora Ephron.
OP: Also
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou.
12 Years A Slave Solomon Northrop
The Grapes Of Wrath. John Steinbeck
The Color Purple Alice Walker
Irena's Children Tilar Mazzeo
She’s come undone by Wally lamb
A prayer for Owen Meany is a great read too...it’s by John Irving
Sorry haven't read the whole thread but one of the best books I've read and I've read a ton is Al Roker's Storm of the Century IMO he is one of the best authors I've read.....ever!!
You've got me curious saying one of best ever and I'm completely clueless he's even written a book.
No one's dropped the obligatory Nietzsche or Bertrand Russell?
