not mentioning

Would love to hear some of your favorite books. We could start the Morselist’s Book Club to accompany
the Monthly Morsel Club! Think about it….
Great list! I love several of these myself.
A few of my favorites below. The first 3 are very Southern. What can I say? You can take the boy out of the south, but….
1. Whisper of the River’ by Ferrol Sams
2. Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
3. When All the World Was Young by Ferrol Sams
4. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
I can’t believe how many of your book favorites are also my favorites! And I’m sure the ones of yours that I haven’t read would become my favorites too. Did you read Cold Mountain????
You’re the best.
I really enjoyed Middlesex as well, but I had to skip over the chapter about the burning of Smyrna. The rape/killing of children was a bit much for me, but otherwise found it to be a fantastic book!
Also liked Eat, Pray, Love, although I found the Pray section dragged on a bit.
My recommendations:
The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Candy Girl by Diablo Cody
