Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Eben Alexander

Book Club Recommended

Insightful, Informative, Interesting

Intriguing, but not convincing

I enjoyed this book as a story, but not as \\\\\\\"proof of heaven.\\\\\\\" I think the title was misleading. I think the narrator took a very VIVID experience as PROOF, and I don\\\\\\\'t think those are the same thing.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Book Club Recommended

Adventurous, Dramatic, Interesting

Easy holiday reading

Good dystopian YA fiction with a strong female protagonist. Like Hunger Games, but with less violence and more romance.

The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa

Book Club Recommended

Beautiful, Insightful, Pointless

Understated and Brief - A Japanese novel

This is a quiet book with an intimate story about the poetry of numbers and the beauty of personal connection. There's also quite a bit about Japanese culture, baseball, and memory loss.
