My three favorite books (in no particular order) are as follows. "The Chronicles of Harris Burdick" by various authors, because it takes some of my favorite modern writers, such as Lemony Snicket, and John Sciezska and creates an amazing collection of short stories. "See You at Harry"s, by Jo Knoles. this book was very sad and meaningful, and it taught me not to take my family for granted."Fahrenheit 451," by Ray Bradbury is another book with a lot of deep meaning, although sometimes more subtle. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Even though each of these books are very different from each other, they in my opinion are all quite mentally provocative. If you like books that "make you think," then all three of these might appeal to you.

I think I'll read See You at Harry's. It's been recommended several times with the warning that it makes you cry. It sounds like the characters must really connect with the reader.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Harris Burdick are amazing. They're kind of abstract and dreamlike and the concepts really stick in your mind!
I really want to read See You at Harry's now. Thanks for the other suggestions also.
ReplyDeleteSee You at Harry's is sitting on my desk right now! First come first serve!
ReplyDeleteElliott, I love "Harry's" and 451. Both are wonderful and compelling books in totally different writing styles. Since I love those two, I will have to assume The C's of Harris Burdick are great as well and have added them to my TBR. Thanks for posting.
Lemony Snicket is a really good author!
ReplyDeleteElliott,
ReplyDeleteI am going to go with the consensus on See You at Harry's and at it to my list. I always love a book that makes me cry (better than a book that makes you feel nothing). Is there a particular story you recommend in The Chronicles of Harris Burdick?
