A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.

All great, but I especially like the second one. If you have a good book, you’ll never be alone.
Happy Sunday!
This is a great choice, Kimberly.
Happy Sunday!
My favorite is “The writer’s duty is to keep on writing.” I think writing is the only way to improve.
This is an excellent choice, John. You are absolutely right.
Thank you.
I simply can’t choose . . . but I do recall after reading Sophie’s Choice that it affected me deeply for days and days and I wanted everyone I knew to read it so we could talk about it. It still resonates with me today~
I would like to think you liked them all, Marni.
There are stories, so intense – you just need to let everybody know. In some cases I was disappointed that others were not in the least inclined to read that certain book as well.
I love them all! They appeal separately to my writer-self and reader-self. 🙂
Three winners! Thank you very much for your kind feedback, Teresa. 🙂
