Hi Lori ~
Thanks so much for including "Bald in the Land of Big Hair" on your list of favorite books! I'm amazed that it's still in print almost ten years after it was first published.
A recommendation: "Last Night in Montreal" by Emily St. John Mandel.
Peace, love and grooviness ~

You have some good ones on your list. I have read some, but not all. Two I have read recently and reccomend: The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne & The ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning.
Great list!
Some of my favorites are on it like Wuthering Heights and the Glass Castle, but some I have never heard of. I like lists like that!
I highly recommend "The Remains of The Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Blessings,

I wish Norman Maclean had started writing 30 years earlier. I tried to buy Young Men and Fire the other day on Half.com
No one had it so I bought A River Runs Through It
