Books I've Read Recently and Loved:

1) //**Book Thief**// by Markus Zusak-I read it because, first and foremost, it is WWII literature, and I will read/watch just about any historical fiction I can get ahold of from that time period. But, I also enjoyed it because it is so original--the narrator is death, and it works. The prose is poetical and the commentaries on life that are woven into the storyline are profound. 2) //**1,000 Splendid Suns**// by Khaled Hosseini-I'd read //Kite Runner//, and really liked it so I picked up Hosseini's next novel. This novel became progressively more difficult to read and harder to put down, all at the same time. When I finished it, I decided not to recommend it to anyone as a good book. Good didn't describe it. Powerful did. And, because it was so powerful I eventually began recommending it. 3) //**Hiding Place**// by Corri ten Boom-This is another WWII novel, but this one is autobiographical. It's an amazing story of faith and heaven's blessings in the face of tragedy and evil
