If I had to spend my life in confinement, I would choose to spend it with Count Alexander Rostov, the protagonist of Amor Towles amazing novel, A Gentleman in Moscow, and one of my favorite literary characters of all time.

The question is not, “Could this really happen?” but, “How we can help our children grow and thrive in the real world we inhabit, one filled with fear and uncertainty caused not by the spinning of the earth but by our own self-inflicted crises?”

If you are looking for The Great American Novel, I found it.  David James Duncan wrote it.

The touchingly sparse and realistic dialogue reminded me of one of the greatest westerns of all time, Larry McMurty's Lonesome Dove.

One of the more challenging books I've read in a while, The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson is the winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

This unusual Post-Apocalyptic novel is the best book I read in 2015.

I'm a big fan of Christian writer and counselor John Eldredge.
