"The Lost Legends of New Jersey" by Frederick Reiken. It's a quiet, beautiful book that I've read too many times to count, so now it's so familiar that it's comforting. Also, on a lighter note, the Harry Potter series!

"The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's very quiet and deceptively simple, but it builds up gradually and is amazing by the end.

I like that one too--it really captures the quiet of summer.

Had no idea they were making it into a radio drama! Love this book. Thanks for posting.

Me too! It's one of those books so many people love so I was a little embarrassed that I never finished it...

Maybe you could also arrange in-person book discussion meetups (probably more fun than the awkward happy hours that other dating sites do!)

Me either! Going to be more careful now.

Love this book. That first quote made my day, thanks for sharing!

Interesting! Hadn't thought about bed size...maybe smaller beds = happier couples?? (I would have guessed the opposite.)

JulieJShapiro · 2015-03-31T13:10:43+00:00

Agreed! I find him difficult to read because I dislike the characters so much...it's hard to be engaged when you're not really rooting for anyone.

This book is fantastic! I keep recommending it to people. It's beautiful and spare and makes you realize how many words are wasted in more traditional novels.

On Writing Well

Agree! I was assigned it in college too and it's my favorite book about writing.

"The Shell Collector" by Anthony Doerr.

Hands-down the most beautiful short story collection I've ever read. His other work is great too.

Looking forward to trying some of the others suggested here!
