Angela Reads: 10 Good Reads

So I have been blogging about the current books I have read. It all started with my Edward obsession the Twilight saga. I thought I would post some of my past favorite reads, in no particular order. I wouldn’t consider this my top 10 list, just 10 random good reads.

Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert.
Love. Love. Love this book. I loved Elizabeth’s personality. She was tender, yet brings a lot of humor to her story. Her journey through Italy, India and Indonesian was incredible.
Time Travelers Wife, Audrey Niffenegger.
This is such an interesting and compelling book. It’s hard to describe. I totally fell in love with characters. You just have to read it, it’s a must read.
Honeymoon with My Brother, Franz Wisner
I think I picked up this book after hearing about it on NPR. What a fun book. It’s a great story about travel, but mainly about relationships. I loved the letters from their Grandmother.
Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer
This is the story of Chirs McCandless all too short and intense life. Excellent book and so well written. This is the first book/gift I gave to Jamie.
Life of Pi, Yann Martel
Simply Wonderful
Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield
I read this book over 12 years ago and really enjoyed it then. I remember writing about it in College. It has many messages. I know a lot of people who didn’t like it. I wonder what I would think of it now if I were to re-read it. It still sits on my bookshelf.
The Book of Joe, Jonathan Tropper
I laughed. I cried. Very entertaining. I need to read some of Jonathan Tropper’s other books.
The Know it All, A.J. Jacobs
This is a very good memoir. The wit is sharp. And I learned some stuff.
Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown
Pure adventure. Pure entertainment. I read this book 5 or so years ago on a plane to Paris. It was the perfect book for the trip.
Harry Potter Series, J.K. Rowling
What can I say about Harry Potter? I love it! Genius.
What are some of your favorites? I'm tempted to read Twilight again. Call me crazy....it's ok.
