The Screwtape Letters​, by C.S. Lewis

A Dance with Dragons

No way I could narrow it down, I love reading.

Friday Night Lights

History of Nearly Everything

Cobb

The Chris Farley Show

Flyboys

One I wouldn't recommend - "The President Is Missing"

Strictly a money grab, using Bill Clinton as a "co-author."

If I need to have my intelligence insulted, I'll strike up a conversation with some of the derelicts at Belterra Park.

 

Bad, bad, read.

I hate giving book recommendations because everyone’s tastes are so different.

 

For someone who isn’t into reading, you need the plot to move quickly; no slow burns or meandering discripions. Also need to keep them short and avoid overly complex story structures or syntax and also steer of clear of ideas that either require significant explanation or are left open by the author.

 

Fab Five by Mitch Albom

The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

 

... I’m stuck and it’s almost midnight. Maybe tomorrow I’ll think of another.

That Dark and Bloody River OR The Frontiersman - Allan W. Eckert (completely ignoring @Getslow's excellent criteria for selecting a book for those with low motivation to read)

 

The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkein. I don't usually fancy fantasy literature but Tolkein is different. I read the Hobbit in 8th grade and couldn't put it down.

 

The Hiding Place - Corrie ten Boom

 

Brutchko - Bruce Olson

 

Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ - John Piper

Edited by oldgrappler

John Grisham-The Innocent Man

James Lee Burke-Robicheaux

Dennis Lehane-Live by Night

Lee Child-Killing Floor

Laura Hillenbrand-Unbroken

I'll just list one but it's a doozy: THE BULLPEN GOSPELS by Dirk Hayhurst. This is a real life depiction of minor league baseball and is funnier than you could ever imagine.
