Don’t you love bookstores?
The kind that smell like stories and paper and ink and the kind of excitement
that people who read bring in?
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him
what books he reads.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time,
it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the
books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to
this war with the forces of oblivion.
–Umberto Eco
Here are 5 Books that not enough people know about, in my
opinion (all fiction):
1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary
Ann Shaffer
2. Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
3. The River Witch Kimberly Brock
4. The Rock Orchard by Paula Wall (not for children)
5. Such a Pretty Face by Cathy Lamb (not for children)
I haven't heard of any of them except the first!! I thought the first was an okay book, but I can't remember much about it. And it's not a good title - no-one can remember it. I'll have to go have a look for some of the others. Did you like the Thomas Keneally book?
