Have you ever read a book and were so taken by it that when you finished, you felt that life would never feel right until everyone else had read that book too?

I saw this and couldn’t help laughing. When I was in college, the first time that is, I forced my fiance to read Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. He did not have the time and WAS NOT thrilled about me pestering him like a five year old. I did not care. 🙂 He read it, loved it, and all was right in the world.

Well, you just added a book to my reading pile. I remember wanting to read that book, but it had fallen off my radar.
Thanks!

I love anything by Jeffrey Archer! He is incomparable for historical novels. For mysteries/suspense I love Mary Higgins Clark, queen of suspense.

Yes, I felt this way about a few books when I was in college. It’s so amazing to feel so passionate about a book.

The Sparrow is currently that one for me. I almost started reading it again as soon as I finished, and I had the worst/best book hangover I’ve had in awhile. Now I check in with my mom and several other folks to see if they have read it yet. (They haven’t. *shakes fist at sky*)

Yes, I felt that way about This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz! So far I haven’t convinced anyone I know to read it, but not for lack of trying!

Yes! I had that feeling with Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell and recently with I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith – your life will not be complete until you’ve read them!
