Books that make you think


One of authours who's books I eagerly await is Jodi Picoult. Her books are thought provoking and often deal with weighty issues (ie: school shootings, mercy killings, rape, etc.). Picoult's books tend to stick in your mind, making you rethink issues and question your own ideals. Last night I sat down to read her latest book, Handle With Care. This book takes a look at wrongfull birth lawsuits and the lengths a mother would go to, to ensure the finacial security for a sick child. Of course. It was a rivoting story. My other favorite Jodi Picoult books are Nineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper and Second Glance.


If you like Jodi Picoult, you may like these books too:

3) This Much I know is True - Wally Lamb
4) The Breakdown Lane - Jacquelyn Mitchard
5) Lost in the Forest - Sue Miller
6) The Girls - Lori Lansens
7) Crow Lake - Mary Lawson


Happy reading!!
