Eleanor Oliphant is Absolutely Fine (this book gets recommended alot)
The Alice Network (spy, WWll book)
To Die But Once (Maisie Dobbs series)
Nomadland (Seniors who travel around country and work seasonal jobs like Amazon)
Beartown (a Fredrick Backman book about ice hockey)
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (another Fredrick Backman)
A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline (MaryBeth recommended this book about the relationship between the artist Andrew Wyeth and the subject of his best
known painting, Christina's World)
The Unseen World (another book by Liz Moore who wrote Heft)
Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder
Less by Andrew Sean Greer (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
Rules of Civility (Amor Towles, Author of Gentleman from Moscow which is a favorite of many including Mary Beth and me)
Gentleman from Moscow (my favorite book last year and MaryBeth really liked it, too)
News of the World by Paulette Jiles
Killers of the Flower Moon (NF about Osage Indian murders and birth of FBI)
Midwives by Chris Bohjalian (MaryBeth and Angela heard him speak at book festival and Angela read and liked this book)
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother (Angela and I both read this book some time ago and liked it)
The Death and Life of the Great Lakes by Dan Egan (MaryBeth recommended this one that is detailed and factual, but still quite readable.)

This is a interesting list and I wonder if there is still interest in it.

I have read and would recommend:
Beartown (a Fredrick Backman book about ice hockey and sexual harassment. This is an insightful book inspired by the #MeToo movement, but is not a happy topic)

News of the World by Paulette Jiles


I read and am neutral about:
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother (I thought it moved slowly)
