"Powerful and poetic. I learned about parts of WWII that I had never learned about before, but the prose was beautiful."

"Hard to pick one. There is one that I have gone back to over and over but it's a reference book. Peterson's Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America"

"The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. A student of mine was reading it, so I told him I would read it too so that we could talk about it. I was completely mesmerized and lost in this book. "
