@Megan- thanks! I’ve re-read Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse. She’s a great writer, but some of her work is more…accessible than other works. Sarah has re-read David Allen’s Getting Things Done. Both books are worth checking out!

Over Thanksgiving I read This Must Be The Place and loved it.

Great podcast! I listened while on the treadmill so I couldn’t write things down, but there were lots of books I wanted to write down.
What was your most re-read book? (It sounded great…. with a mention that it was a great way to read that author, vs their other work that became more avant garde or some such.)
What was Sarah’s mention of a non-fiction book that she enjoyed and read twice?

Thanks!!
Megan

In reply to ARC.

I am also a big fan of Moriarty. There is an Irish Moriarty too, called Sinead Moriarty who I highly recommend. Yes to Maeve Binchy and other Irish authors like Cathy Kelly, Sheila O’Flanagan and Roisin Meaney too.

Another very unknown author (it seems to me) on American soil is Dorothy Koomson who is a British author I love.

Thanks for the reminder about Marisa de los Santos – I have one on my Kindle waiting for me.

For non-fiction, I recommend getting a couple of memoirs on audible like Born a Crime, Stories i only tell my friends and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother which is actually a great book club read 🙂

@Anne and Natasha – maybe I need to pick it up too! Although I feel like I’m already pretty good about not giving a &*^& about a great many things.

Congratulations Sarah!! Book recos:
+1 for anything by Maeve Binchy – light but not trashy
Any novels by Marisa de los Santos
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi – deep and hard to read sometimes but really nicely written

In reply to Natasha. Hi Natasha! (I was surprised at how much I appreciated the book you just finished. I wasn't inclined to pick it up but friends kept telling me that underneath the attention-grabbing title, there was good stuff in there.)
