A great book for everyone to read (I know its in many schools now too) is "Between Shades Of Gray" by Ruta Sepetys. I stumbled across it at my library, and as I'm interested in anything World War Two or Soviet Russia, I immediately snapped it up. I loved it so much that I bought it before it was even due back at my library. One of the greatest history novels written.

I think more people should read more works of Paulo Coelho (as if he isn't so famous. lol) and Milan Kundera (I feel he's really underrated). They approach life more philosophically but not abandoning reality at all.

Latest Review: "From Nathan to Nanako" by T.F. Wright

Post by Hendmosaad89 »

I just finished The Sea of Tranquility. And I must say that this book just made see, FEEL and know all about human vulnerabilities and emotinal dilemmas. And it had a great prospect about when , why and what it means to choose completely and utterly to be silent.
Its just too amazing to put it into words . I believe its worth our time.
