Six Impossible Things

A Blog About Fiction and Reading

Recommendations

I'm always looking for new writers to read, new fiction to devour. If you have a suggestion for a writer I haven't mentioned, or a book that you think is one of the best ever written, please include it in this thread. Some of the books I've read that I wouldn't have considered reading without someone recommending them are:

The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg
Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

So, you can see, it sometimes takes some gentle nudging to get me to try authors who are outside of my normal tastes. Even though the list of books I want to read has become voluminous, please don't hesitate to recommend another title. Sometimes, it's worth the extra time to discover a new author.

"'Now I'll give you something to believe. I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day.'

"'I can't believe that!' said Alice.

"'Can't you?' the Queen said in a pitying tone. 'Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.'

"Alice laughed: 'There's no use trying,' she said; 'one can't believe impossible things.'

"'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'"

–Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
