As often happens in the happy hours conversing during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the subject of good books comes up. In Lorenzo’s workshop, there were so many good book suggestions that the group came up with a list. Here is their list:
MOTIVATIONAL/INSPIRING
Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity
The Cloud Collector’s Handbook
The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. Here’s How.
Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art (Wheaton Literary Series)
HISTORICAL
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
HISTORICAL FICTION
NON-FICTION
The Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life’s Work at 72
FICTION
The Walk: A Novel (Pocket Readers Guide)
If you are like me, the list of books you want to read is way too long to actually remember, so I’m currently using an iPhone app called Book Crawler. It allows you to keep a list of the books you want read and the list of the books you’ve already read – so you don’t buy the same book twice! It even has the ability to add books to your list by scanning the barcode on the back of a book (handy when browsing at a bookstore).
