Women, Work and Islam: Ideology and Resistance in Iran

[shell403b]

I totally thought you were going to say that you were going to have other people read them FOR you. lol for days.

Ready Player One.

www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-A-Novel/dp/0307887448

This came recommended to me by a former poster here, and it's an easy, fun read. I didn't get a lot of the gamer culture references, but I still really enjoyed it.

I just finished In the Heart of the Sea and it was an easy read, but somewhat gory at times.

[downtoearth]

Oooo - you are an avid reader.

Two on my list, but haven't read yet are Blink by Malcolm Gladwell and Roots by Alex Haley

The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University by Kevin Roose.

I feel like a slacker--I have 6 more books to finish this year to make my 50 books goal But that is than last year where I had 6 left on Dec 31 (I made it by reading a bunch of very short books and with 2 minutes to spare).


My offering: Miramar by Naguib Mahfouz

This is hard because you read a ton of good stuff.
If you haven't read it yet my absolute favorite book in the world is Power of One

When She Woke by Hillary Jordan
itun.es/us/FxCxH.l

I listened to this on a long car ride. Decent book. Kind of CE&P related.

[meshaliuknits]

IDK if these things fall into your categories or not, but they are the things I liked most that are closest to aligning:

Mo Meta Blues

Foxy: My Life in Three Acts

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (really anything by Christopher Moore is an entertaining read)

Damn you. I totally clicked this link before I realized it was a joke and now all my recommendations are freaking Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz and crap.

The crazy thing is that of all the suggestions I've gotten here and on Facebook I've only read two so far. There are just so many books! 

I have actually read the Power of One and I really trust your suggestions so please offer another!

so much pressure!! I'm torn between recommending something that's a really good, more serious read, and something lighter.

I was going to suggest Lamb as well! One of my all-time favorites.

I'll also throw out Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern just in case you haven't read either of those yet.

If you haven't read it yet, I loved 11/22/63.
