Night (Oprah's Book Club)
Elie Wiesel
Hill and Wang, 2006
WE MUSTN'T FORGET!!!
Night is the accounts of one man's one year survivial of one of our worlds worst atrocities. Clearly, while reading this book I too would question with every turn of the pages, "where was god?". If anything would test one's faith, I couldn't imagine anything more ...

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands
Chelsea Handler
Bloomsbury USA, 2005
"Sex and the City" on steroids, but without the angst.
This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I suppose there are some who would be turned off by a woman going on and on explicitly about her sexual conquests (and near misses), but I certainly wasn't -- for one thing I was laughing too hard. You have to wonder ...

Goodnight Moon
Margaret Wise Brown
HarperFestival, 1991
Good might moon
I first purchased this book 36 years ago for my son; recently bought this new copy for my future grandson--I'm hoping it will be his favorite as it was his father's. It is such a delightful story and a great nightime
read before bed.

The Friday Night Knitting Club
Kate Jacobs

Deeply satisfying
This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. It's a great story of friendships, both intended and unintended. It's warm and relatable without becoming soppy or overindulgent. Highly recommended!
