The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is a moving young adult novel with graphic, difficult content. (7/10)
Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction is a novel in two parts (or two closely-related novellas) written by J.D. Salinger. It’s been a while since I’ve read Salinger, and I enjoyed it, though not as much as Franny and Zooey. (8.5/10)
Hanna Pylväinen’s We Sinners is a solid debut novel I’d recommend (despite some unevenness) to those interested in children coming of age in severe faiths. (7/10)
The End of the Affair was not my favorite Graham Greene, but the writing made it worthwhile to read anyway. (8/10)
I will write a longer review of Love Does in the next week or so, but I had mixed feelings. (6.5/10)
When I started C.S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man, I realized I’d read it in college, but it was worthy of reading again. (8.5/10)
Thanks for sharing your reading. I always love getting good ideas. The only one I have read in this list is The Abolition of Man.
I’ve read through The Abolition of Man a few times now, and it’s always been worth a re-read to me!
