It's
time once again for me to pick my three favorite books of 2014, and
once again I have had trouble narrowing down my list. But I have to go
with the ones that really knocked my socks off, each for a very
different reason.
The
Son by Phillipp Meyer (Texas
Saga), a multi- generational story that held me in its grip from
the very first chapter, which ended with this foreboding line from
the family patriarch: “The only problem was keeping your scalp
attached.”
Can't
We Talk About Something More Pleasant
by Roz Chast (The
Graphic Truth), a graphic
memoir that is hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.
All
the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr (A
Girl and a Boy), the haunting story of two young lives that cross
amidst the chaos of war.
My books are already stacking up. I'm looking forward to hours of great reading in 2015. Happy New Year to all!
