John Warner tells you what to read based on the last five books you’ve read.

1. “The Girls in the Picture” by Melanie Benjamin

2. “The Last Goodnight: A World War II Story of Espionage, Adventure, and Betrayal” by Howard Blum

3. “The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam” by Max Boot

4. “Tangerine” by Christine Mangan

5. “Three Days in Moscow: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of the Soviet Empire” by Bret Baier

— David P., Long Beach, Ind.

A clear interest in history, which I share. I’m thinking David might be intrigued by a novel that tells the tragedy of the Vietnam War from the Vietnamese point of view: “The Sympahtize­r” by Viet Thanh Nguyen. 1. “Everybody’s Fool” by Richard Russo

2. “Nobody’s Fool” by Richard Russo

3. “Sometimes I Lie” by Alice Feeney

4. “The Woman in the Window” by A.J. Finn 5. “The Rules of Magic” by Alice Hoffman — Karen P., Wheaton Every so often, I need to get Jon Hassler back into the mix, and Karen looks like a great candidate. Hard to go wrong with him; “Grand Opening” should fit the bill. 1. “Loving Frank” by Nancy Horan 2. “The Forest Lover” by Susan Vreeland

3. “The Pilot’s Wife” by Anita Shreve 4. “Claude and Camille” by Stephanie Cowell

5. “Clara and Mr. Tiffany” by Susan Vreeland — Nancy D., Oswego, Ill. Nancy would enjoy a little Barbara Kingsolver in her life: “Flight Behavior.”
