Book recommendations from the Biblioracle
John Warner tells you what to read based on the last five books you’ve read.
1. “Lonesome Dove” by Larry McMurtry
2. “The Stories of John Cheever” by John Cheever
3. “The Killer Angels” by Michael Shaara
4. “102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight To Survive Inside the Twin Towers” by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn
5. “Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest” by Beck Weathers and Stephen G. Michaud
— Ralph G., Glencoe
Ralph likes a good adventure story, so I’m going to try to deliver with “Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II” by Robert Kurson.
1. “A Slow Fire Burning” by Paula Hawkins
2. “Less Is Lost” by Andrew Sean Greer
3. “Joan Is Okay” by Weike Wang
4.“Vladimir” by Julia May Jonas
5. “The Consequences” by Manuel Muñoz — Beth S., Ann Arbor, Michigan
Beth needs something with both wit and bite, which brings to mind Lisa Lutz and her somewhat overlooked 2022 title,“The Accomplice.”
1. “Record of a Spaceborn Few” by Becky Chambers
2.“Edgedancer” by Brandon Sanderson
3. “The 6:20 Man” by David Baldacci
4. “Circe” by Madeline Miller
5. “Hart’s War” by John Katzenbach
— Lee Ann C., Lisle
The marketing copy calls Lincoln Michel’s “The Body Scout” a “sci-fi thriller,” but truly I don’t know to what genre this book belongs. Strange and original, and I think Lee Ann will enjoy it.
