Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed

tanglingpuma, October 31, 2012

A brutally honest memoir, I breezed throught it in a day. It was difficult to get through in some parts due to the intensity of her experiences as a promiscuous junky before her transformation on the PCT...but it also had plenty of laughs and moments of total disbelief at her decisions. I have recommended it to many friends and family members as a great read in a local setting.

The Poisonwood Bible (P.S.) by Barbara Kingsolver

tanglingpuma, October 31, 2012

A suspenseful epic of an American family's total reconstruction as they live out several decades on an African mission. They believe they have brought everything they could need to build their new lives, but find that their carefully constructed ideas of what to expect are vastly different from the realities of a harsh life on African soil. This book will simultaneously anger you and cause you to marvel at the strength of one man's convictions.

The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff

tanglingpuma, August 2, 2012

Very well-researched and put together as a historical fiction. I loved the tie-ins with past and present stories; the chapter-by-chapter character changes were a little hard to keep track of at first, just because each new character Brought along so many friends and their histories as well. I was expecting a very negative take on the LDS religion, but I felt like it was pretty honest on all accounts and stuck to history.
