Little Women — I highly recommend Little Women to all readers. Consider re-reading this classic if you only read it in your childhood and see what new lessons you see with your adult eyes.

The Way I Heard It — The Way I Heard It could be read in a single setting or over several days or months. Each chapter is short and stands alone, although it would be good to read them in order as he ties some later stories to some earlier ones. I had heard many of the stories on the podcast, but really enjoyed reading his commentary about them.

Crazy Rich Asians — Crazy Rich Asians was a wild ride of a story. It has very adult language all throughout it, but it was an interesting plot. Fans of drama and soap operas will really enjoy Crazy Rich Asians. I think I will be watching the movie soon.

The Alchemist — The Alchemist is a story told fable-style. It has the feel of a story passed down through the ages; yet, it was written in 1988 in Portuguese. It has since been translated into many languages and sold 21 million copies worldwide. It reminds me of The Timekeeper by Mitch Albom and The Immortal Nicholas by Glenn Beck. Each book has the main character go through an epic journey to tell us a lesson about the true meaning of life.
