Anne Tyler's books are short and very good. A long time ago when life was simpler I really enjoyed reading The Accidental Tourist, Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant and Breathing Lessons, among others. Her latest, A Spool of Blue Thread is invigorating.
You and everybody else have probably heard of these novels but I LOVED them. The ocean at the end of the lane by Neil gaiman it was beautiful and I've read it three time now and white is for witching by Helen Oyeyemi. I'm obsessed with Oyeyemi I can't read her books fast enough!
Two Old Women by Velma Wallis. Native American story based on a true story about two elderly women left to die in the cold. Please someone make this into a movie. I'm going to pick up Down the Rabbit Hole and Man Tiger. Those two books sound great.
You had several good books that you recommended here, esp Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. My mom loves Steinbeck, has quite a few of his books, and I read Travels With Charley last year and loved it. I want to read more of his books, need to raid my mom's bookshelves one of these days. 😊
been trying to get into some Tolstoy for quite some time now, so maybe The Death of Ivan Ilych might get me started faster than Anna Karenina.oh and Animal Farm is one of my all time favourites. cheers :)
I haven't read "Of MIce and Men" or "Animal Farm" since High School since High School which was many, many Moons ago. I reread 1984 several years ago which I also read in my HIgh School or College Years and I still think it is a great book. VEry relevant to our times. I reread "Catcher in The Rye a few years ago and I was very surprised that I didn't like it. I like the fact that you included both Of MIce and Men as well as Animal Farm in your recommendations. I think some TH-cam Book and Literature Channels consider those two books too Popular to recommend. A little snobbish. I may try to read some of the other books that you suggested especially the Mexican book.
You should see the old movie from the fifties or forties of " of mice and men" it is a very good heartbreaking movie. Love your videos, just subscribed..HI ! 😊
I'm going to bump MAN TIGER, OF MICE AND MEN, and ANIMAL FARM up my mental tbr. Thanks Rincey! ^_^ Great topic!

The Driver's Seat by Muriel Spark is an amazing short book; it's my fave.

Sounds like a downer.
You'd probably really like Morely's The Haunted Bookshop which is a loose sequel to Parnassus On Wheels.
I read 3 of them: The death of Ivan Ilych. Animal farm, and Of Mice and men. They are all amazing especially The Death of Ivan.

Start with The Death of Ivan, you won't regret it. It's a masterpiece.
I've never read Tolstoy. Any thoughts on reading which one first between Karenina or W&P? [I'll actually get the audio book.] Thanks.
Just read one yesterday that's one of the best books I've ever read - 'Flight' by Sherman Alexie. My edition is 180 pages.
Id add the stranger by albert calmus to this list.
Andorra by Max Frisch is intimidating but really good as well.
If I Stay by Gayle Forman is probably my favorite short books (just under 200 pages)
