Book Report - March

I read a lot of books. I thought I would put some of my book recommendations here, because it seems like people are always looking for good books to read. So, I've vetted out the below par books for you (you're welcome), and I'm only posting the books that I consider VERY good (this means I rate them at least 4 out of 5 stars).

If you like reading this blog, you'll probably have similar tastes in books as me, so these will probably be very good recommendations for you. Enjoy!

(Note: Since this is my first Book Report, I'm playing a little bit of catch-up with books I've read over the past couple of months. I'll catch up with myself soon enough.)




The Hopefuls - by Jennifer Close is a great marriage / relationship book about an up-and-coming politician and his lovely / smart / independent wife who goes along for the ride.






But What If We're Wrong? - by Chuck Klosterman is a book that will make you re-examine the world as you know it. (I love books that make me re-examine the world as I know it!) Just look at it's cover... it's upside down! Clever.






This Must Be the Place - by Maggie O'Farrell is storytelling at its finest. She weaves a good tale about a man finding his place in the world, losing it, finding it again.





The Nix - by Nathan Hill is one of the BEST books I've read all year. It's long. It's good. It's pretty epic. One of the best things about this book was that it was ultimately a story about a man and his mother. How often do you see a story focused on that relationship? It was so well done.





Hillbilly Elegy - by J.D. Vance was a well-drawn out look into the hillbilly culture. Eye-opening and thoughtful. A fast and easy read.
