Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott - 4
A classic for any writer or writer-wanna-be.
Brisingr by Christopher Paolini - 2
He's a good writer, but he made his trilogy into four books, and he tends to have ideas that sound just like other fantasy writers.
Business Plan in a Day by Rhonda Abrams - ?
I can't rate this book. It was very good, but it's not like I would recommend it unless you needed to write a business plan.
Colors of the Mountain by Da Chen - 3
I love learning about other cultures through a good story.
Confessions of a Pagan Nun by Kate Horsley - 3
Cultures through fiction, loving it.
Crooked Little Heart by Anne Lamott - 3
I got on a Lamott kick and the books got boring by the end of it, but she is such a good writer.
Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir - 4
If you want history books that aren't boring, read Alison Weir.
Paper Towns by John Green - 2
Very good, but exactly the same plot line as Looking for Alaska.
Rosie by Anne Lamott - 3
Part of the Lamott kick.
The Entrepreneurs guide to Writing Business Plans and Proposals by K. Dennis Chambers - ?
Again, if you really need it it was a big help.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows - 3
Wonderful book. If only the title had been better I would have picked it up a lot sooner.
A little disclaimer: these are all my opinion. I don't think I have the right to say whether these books should be best sellers or not. But if they are above a 3 I would highly recommend them to you. And even if they are a 2 or a 1, you should read them anyways just to broaden your horizons. Books open your mind.

I'm making a list of books to read.
By the way, I'm reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families and it is good....if you are ever intested.
