Anna Begins Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) What would you buy… What novel would you buy your mother/father (if they're no longer with us, what would you have bought if they were?) I’d buy my dad The Green Mile (King) and my mom a nice version of The Man in the Iron Mask (one of her favorite books). What novel would you buy your best friend?Don’t Let Me Go by Catherine Ryan Hyde What novel would you buy the Prime Minister or King/Queen or President of your country?Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead By Frank Meeink and Dr. Jody M Roy Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead is Frank Meeink’s raw telling of his descent into America’s Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over drugs and hatred. Frank's story to Dr Jody Roy of his downfall and ultimate redemption has the power to open hearts and change lives. What novel would you buy for a new immigrant of your country? 1776 by David McCullough What novel would you buy for someone who claims to hate books? Damned By Chuck Palahniuk This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patient plays on endless repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hard-sell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine. What novel would you buy for a terrorist? Dawn By Elie Wiesel 81 pages. Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter. The night-long wait for morning, with its harrowingly taut, hour-by-hour narrative, Elisha wrestles with guilt, ghosts, and ultimately God as he waits for the appointed hour and his act of assassination. Dawn is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings. Edited July 20, 2014 by Anna Begins Quote
