If someone asked you for a book recommendation, what is the FIRST book you'd think to recommend (without extra thought)?
I actually get asked about book recommendations quite a bit, especially from co-workers. The first book that always pops into my mind is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern because I LOVE this book and think everyone should read it. The Secret History by Donna Tartt also comes to mind quite a bit for those I think would be interested in a good psychological mystery in reverse.
What book would you recommend without thinking much about it?
My book would be Water for Elephants. I would recommend this without asking the reader what genre they liked, etc. This is my current standard recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Secret History, maybe I'll have to check it out.
Water for Elephants is a great choice!
DeleteBoth sound good to me. I am gonna check those out!

ReplyDeleteI happened upon your post by linking from "shelovestoread" on wordpress and totally agree with you about The Night Circus. Mine is, and forever will be, To Kill a Mockingbird.
