book recommendations

The Notebook is the best by far...the book is much much better than the movie though. Get your tissues out and get ready to cry!

What about Big Fish? The movie was made my Tim Burton, I read the book as well, out loud to my kids a couple years ago. Got a little choked up at parts.... :-) Can't remember the author but it would be fabulous for all ages.

In the theme of LTC....

(I loved the book Water for Elephants!)

My book suggestions: Big Fish

Dying Well by Ira Byock, not a quick read but will change your life. It was recommended to me when my mom was on hospice.

And in the spirit of the holidays how about The Christmas Box? By Richard P. Evans.

I will look forward to hearing any other suggestions sent your way, I'm always looking for a good book to read!

Just found the book on my bookshelves: Big Fish is by Daniel Wallace.

Other ones I saw on my shelves and thought I would mention are Sybil, could be a book or movie suggestion. Or... One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, book or movie :-) All kinda relate to the health care field, right?

Just read a little book by Mitch ALbom-" The 5 people you meet in Heaven"- really touched me. try it!!!

Also by Mitch Albom - For One More Day,. How about "The Red Tent", "Wicked", "Son of a Witch" and if you like weird ones "The Weatherman" by Robert Thayer I am not so sure the first name is correct, but the last name is. Wicked and Son of a Witch are about the Wicked Witch of the West from OZ and they are really good! The Red Tent is about the "red tent" in the biblical days when women were considered unclean for the days of the month when they had their menses...about the relationships they shared and the bonds they formed...it is a great book!

I;ve read the Red Tent, interesting fiction, liked it and it was well written. I try to be careful when reading historic fiction that infuse biblical characters with personalities and actions that may or may not have been. But it was good.

I've read Wicked- liked it a little less but OK,
