Books! Books! Books! Can't get enough of them! But a book is never fully appreciated until it is discussed- with one person, many people, or on a blog. Since I retired, I have always belonged to book clubs - one, two, three, or even four at a time. I always have an opinion about the book I am reading. It isn't always the popular opinion, but it is mine. This is what will be on my blog.

The Great American Read, part 3
Here is the third set of titles. I haven't read many of these books.
My favourite probably would be "Jane Eyre" or "Memoirs of a Geisha".
Hatchet (series), Gary Paulsen
Heart Of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
The Help, Kathryn Stockett
The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, Douglas Adams
The Hunger Games (series), Suzanne Collins
The Hunt For Red October, Tom Clancy
The Intuitionist, Colson Whitehead
Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë
The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan
Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton
Left Behind (series), Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins
The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurtry
Looking for Alaska, John Green
The Lord of the Rings (series), J.R.R. Tolkien
The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold
The Martian, Andy Weir
Memoirs of a Geisha, Arthur Golden
Mind Invaders, Dave Hunt
Moby-Dick, Herman Melville
The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez
Outlander (series), Diana Gabaldon
"The Hunger Games" was certainly popular recently and "The Help" was a good movie. But there are also lots of obscure books in this list.
