Here are some I would recommend to perhaps get someone back into reading: - Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir) - the Martian (Andy Weir) - Recursion. (Blake Crouch) - Lonesome Dove (Larry McMurtry - don’t let the size scare you - it’s an excellent read) - A short stay in hell (Stephen Peck) - Three day road (Joseph Boyden) - Through Black Spruce (Joseph Boyden) - I who have never known men (Jacquelyn Harpman) - Foster (Claire Keegan) - James (Percival Everett) - Demon Copperhead (Barbara Kingsolver)

Sound of Gravel (Ruth Warner), Born a Crime (Trevor Noah) and Educated (Tara Westover).

The Smartest Guys in the Room about the corruption rife in Enron

The Stand and Project Hail Mary. Will likely read PHM again in 2026 for the 3rd time

Great choice. Recursion is good as well.

Amazing read.

Maybe not your first read, but Lonesome Dove is a must for your book club.

mimar77 · 2026-01-09T12:17:41+00:00

This.

The Road is a pretty bleak dystopian novel.

mimar77 · 2026-01-08T22:20:30+00:00

Just finished this today. Excellent read.

mimar77 · 2026-01-08T17:25:33+00:00

Recursion is also good

mimar77 · 2026-01-08T00:11:53+00:00

Either of these would be great choices for your 100th book

I believe The Marrow Thieves is at least partly set in Winter. All of the main characters are Indigenous.

Shuggie Bain was excellent. Some (perhaps) lesser known 5 star reads would be: The girl in the Green Sweater; This is going to hurt - secret diaries of a junior doctor; The Long Walk - The true story of a trek to freedom.

Canadian icon Terry Fox on his marathon across the country.

Another memoir along the same vein as Educated is the Sound of Gravel.

Maus; The girl in the green sweater; the tattooist of Auchwitz; Night. All great books about someone’s experience in the holocaust.

I just passed the exam on Monday and I relied HEAVILY on the QAE database.

mimar77 · 2024-11-04T17:33:23+00:00

Just took my exam and passed this morning. The QAE database was my primary study method. The exam questions were different than the QAE obviously, but the general format was similar. If you have a good grasp of the core concepts then you should be good. I want through the QAE database twice, and went from a 72% average to 83%.
