Post below what is the last book you read and why you think someone else should read it...


The last book I read was The Color of Law and I think you should read it because it helped me see the scope of systemic and historical housing segregation.

    The Three Body Problem trilogy.
    You should read it because it's an incredible take on what could happen if we ever made contact with aliens and the future of humankind. Also, it's reported that Former President Obama read it and he seems like a smart bloke.

    The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

    Its a truely inspiring book just like all Mitch Albom books.

    One of my favorite quotes "All humans are musical. Why else would the lord give you a beating heart"

    Johnny and the Dead - Terry Pratchett

    You should read it because... Terry Pratchett. The last book I finished reading for myself (and not to my son) was a trilogy by Jeff Wheeler. It was a while ago, but I love his books. My next favorite author beside Terry Pratchett and JRR Tolkien

    Yes! Do it! It's all very nostalgic now. I have an almost complete collection of his books

    That depends if you want to read the non-Discworld or the Discworld. And if you want to read them chronologically or in sets. I personally prefer the Death Discworld, which starts with Mort

    Then I always loved The Carpet People (I have two copies, for what reason I don't know). Maurice and His Educated Rodents is also good. Truckers, Diggers and Wings trilogy is a fun escape but not really intellectually stimulating

    Ms. D and Me by Kathryn Sermack. I've read both books written by Bette Davis and this was the much anticipated book authored by her personal assistant of seven years. Beautifully written book! I highly recommend it.

    It's not really a book. But, I think you should read this. ;)
