Revealed! Book Club Choices for March. Happy Reading!

Book Club Suggestions

Because nothing boosts happiness more than a great book, each month, I suggest:

  • one outstanding book about happiness or habits
  • one outstanding work of children’s or young-adult literature–I have a crazy passion for kidlit
  • one eccentric pick–a widely admired and excellent book that I love, yes, but one that may not appeal to everyone

A book about happiness, good habits, or human nature:

The Wisdom of the Enneagram by Don Riso

An outstanding children’s book:

The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson

An eccentric pick:

Revenge of the Lawn by Richard Brautigan

Some readers have said that they wished that I’d describe and make the case for my book choices, instead of just providing links. I’ve noticed that many times, when someone describes a book to me, I want to read it less. And often, weirdly, the better a book is, the worse it sounds.

In any event, I assure you that, for all the books I choose, I love them; I’ve read them at least twice if not many times; and they’re widely admired.
