Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief Lawrence Wright Scientology is a religion I didn’t understand, and this book delves into its history. It’s a great example of how the more we can understand about people we don’t understand, the better chance we have for avoiding conflicts. |

I love to read in bed with my cat snuggled next to me. As a Driven Leaf Milton Steinberg "I love historical fiction. This book takes place around the time Jesus lived and focuses on the politics of religion and secular society." To Be Sung Underwater Tom McNeal "The plotline might sound like this is a book about a woman longing for a love affair but it’s actually a very male-heavy story about lost opportunities." Geek Love: A Novel Katherine Dunn "This is an incredible novel about a group of circus performers and “sideshow freaks”. It is really bizarre but really fantastic." The Secret History Donna Tartt "I love this book because it focuses on a group of college students who find themselves committing a horrendous crime. They all have to figure out how to cover it up and it’s a really interesting portrait of a really exceptional situation." One Hundred Years of Solitude
Gabriel Garcia Marquez "This is a very long book about one family’s history, set over a hundred years. It’s written in the style of magical realism, which literally means anything can and does happen."
