A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
	davndan, January 27, 2016 This grand story of brotherhood and love is at turns breathtaking and heartbreaking. For a lengthy novel it flew by and I didn't want it to end. The story revolves around Jude, a broken, self loathing but lovable man and three of his enduring friends. Reading it I found myself at times laughing out loud with tears following close behind. This book was definitely at the top of my best books of 2015 list. I highly recommend it!

Defending Jacob by Landay, William
	davndan, January 06, 2013 A thrilling page turner that had me on the edge of my seat. Familial drama and a fathers love for his son are at the heart of this epic tale.

Passage by Justin Cronin
	davndan, January 04, 2011 What a book! Having grown up in southern California the location of much of the story is all too familiar. This book kept me up at night with its suspense and engrossing characters. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
	davndan, January 01, 2010 The most touching book for me personally that I've read in quite some time. Very moving, easy to relate to, and excellent story telling. I don't re-read many books and this one will be re-read many times.
