Suggestions from Friends

Like most people who love to read, I always get suggestions from friends about their favourite books. I know I weill never be able to read all the great suggestions. There are just too many of them. I do want to share those titles with you, though, books that I would love to read if ever I find the time.

I will add more in the future and take those away that I read. Please, add any suggestions you might have as a comment. Thank you.
