Kim Jay | 39 comments Do you like autobiographies? I recently enjoyed So That Happened by Jon Cryer; Good Talk, Dad by Bill and Willie Geist; Promise Me, Dad by Joe Biden; Bossypants by Tina Fey. Also, The Greatest Generation Speaks by Tom Brokaw (a collection of letters sent to him by WWII veterans after the publication of his book The Greatest Generation).

Miriam (riareadstoomuch) | 192 comments the Scholomance series. These books are so good!
But be prepared, the author loves huge plot twists and cliffhangers.

Cheryl (cherylllr) Well, my list is already too long, but maybe if you all say a couple of words about each of the above I'd consider them. ;)

I'll just recommend anything by Michael Perry. Whether you like memoirs, philosophical essays, fiction, explorations of rural life, let me know and I'll tell you where to start. He's the one author I buy books directly from, rather than using library or hunting thrifted copies.
