OK, a few more international books that I've read .
Been thinking about these,
this is a great brain working topic for me.
Always good to work your brain a bit in a new way.
Thought I'd share a few more that have come to me.
Oldies but goodies, at least most of them.
First of all, this great Australian story-
Read this years ago but still remember it clearly.
Priest falling in love with a young woman...
The settling of Australia...
Then here's a book that I read twice- way back in high school and then in college-
can't say I remember much about it except that it wasn't my favorite book ever.
Too philosophical for me.
And then we have a book more my style
Like the Thorn Birds, I'm all for these great sweeping historical novels.
A good read for a cold winter weekend.
Or for a hot summer day when you want to cool off since it is set in Russia.
And I LOVE this mystery series. I've read several. This is the book that came out in 2012. Louise Penny is a Canadian Quebecois writer. Excellent writer.I recommend her. Her detective Inspector Gamache is such a hottie and kind of man you'd love to be married too-(not to say my husband is less than that...ha-ha)
And an excellent horror story. Though a real oldie-
And an Italian book that was a pretty quick read that I enjoyed.
Here's an interesting Iranian selection that we read for my book group a few years back. What I liked about this book is that is was non-fiction. Seeing how people live in other places is really interesting to me.
And a play we read back in a college literature class by a Norwegian author.
OK, and I never said we could include children's books, did I?
This is such a fun series.
A great Swedish author. A great character, Pippi, is a hoot.
And here's another book club book we read a few years back that I enjoyed. The author grew up in Prague, back when it was Communist Czechoslovakia. This is a childhood memory, sweet, tender but interesting too.
That's it for books today. I showed you this last week and I am really enjoying this read. Learning a lot about Iceland and life there.
Have a great weekend.
