Book recommenda­tions from the Biblioracl­e

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

1. “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr

2. “The Last Stone” by Mark Bowden

3.“Verity” by Colleen Hoover

4. “Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy” by Herman Pontzer

5. “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens

— Clare C., Hinsdale

Claire seems to enjoy some suspense in her stories, as do I, so I’m going with “The Lying Game” by Ruth Ware, which will keep you turning the pages even as it does a slow build toward revelation.

1. “The Code Breaker” by Walter Isaacson

2. “Amoralman” by Derek DelGaudio

3. “The Dutch House” by Ann Patchett

4. “Interior Chinatown” by Charles Wu

5. “The Education of an Idealist” by Samantha Power

— Mark M., Des Moines, Iowa

I love it when I find someone that I think is suited for Lawrence Weschler’s “Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder: Pronged Ants, Horned Humans, Mice on Toast, and Other Marvels of Jurassic Technology.” Like “Amoralman” it keeps you guessing what is real and what isn’t, what can be trusted, and whether or not trusting the author even matters.

1. “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” by Agatha Christie

2. “Moving On” by Larry McMurtry

3. “Klara and the Sun” by Kazuo Ishiguro

4. “What Alice Forgot” by Liane Moriarty

5. “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman

— Maggie N., Downers Grove

Similar to “Klara and the Sun,” Leni Zumas’

“Red Clocks” imagines an altered world that still seems to powerfully resemble the one we live in.
