This week’s Musing Mondays from Should Be Reading asks…
“This week’s musing asks…
What’s one book you always recommend to just about anyone?“
I am mainly a reader of mysteries and classics so my recommendations mostly tend to be from these two genres. But if I have to recommend something that any reader can enjoy, I would be in trouble. I tend to go against the current a bit. General readers and I don’t see eye to eye on most books. Still, there are a few books that come to my mind as suitable reads for all.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a book I can recommend to anyone without any reservations. It’s a safe bet. I think only a handful of people in the world don’t like it.
Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton is another one I would recommend. The book is unabashedly sentimental but that’s where its appeal lies. I would recommend it in a heartbeat.
A Paperback Life 
I haven’t read Goodbye, Mr. Chips. I’ll add it to my list. Thanks!
You’re welcome! I am not ashamed to say that I cried after I finished Goodbye, Mr. Chips. For a while I couldn’t even talk about the ending without choking up and I am not even an overly emotional person!
Great choices!
Here’s my Musing Mondays post. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
I have read P&P but never Goodbye, Mr. Chips…have to add that to the list.
Pride and Prejudice is one of the most widely read book in the world, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, not so much. But it should be, in my opinion. Hope you like it when you read it!
