A few days ago, someone asked me if I had a book recommendation for her son.  That was easy.  I recommended Duck on a Bike by David Shannon.  This is one of our family's favourites.

What children's book would you recommend?

Maybe it was too easy.  Yesterday, I was asked by the same person if I had a book recommendation for her husband.  It needed to be fiction.  At first I wondered, "Am I now doing this person's Christmas shopping?"  Next I wondered, "What is the last fiction book I've read?"  I do lots of great reading with my kids and I have read lots of great nonfiction, but adult fiction??

To my shame, the last really good fiction novel I read cover to cover was Peace Like a River by Leif Enger.  I picked it up on Sunday and began to get completely lost in the novel.  This book about faith and the power of miracles is so good:  well-written, thought-provoking, surprising, and raw.  Resolution for 2014:  read more fiction.

What book should I read first?
