What Should I Read Next? An Alphabetical Answer 2

Earlier this week I posted an alphabetical list of suggestions for theology/non-fiction books. Here is an accompanying fiction list:

A - Alexander Solzhenitsyn (They’re all good but start with One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - Technically fiction…but is it really?)

B - William Young Boyd (The Gentle Infantryman)

C - Christy Lefteri (The Beekeeper of Aleppo)

D - Alexander Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo)

E - Tan Twan Eng (The Gift of Rain)

F - Empire Falls by Richard Russo

G - Geraldine Brooks - I’ve enjoyed most everything she’s written except The Secret Chord

H - Victor Hugo (Les Miserables; The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

I - I’m gonna cheat here and give you a non-fiction because Erik Larson is so good.

J - John Boyne (The House of Special Purpose)

K - To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

L - David Liss - Any and all. The Coffee Trader was my least favorite.

M - Colum McCann - I’ve only read Apeirogon but I plan on reading more

N - The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean

O - The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay

P - Primo Levi (If Not Now, When?)

Q - Quite literally anything by John Steinbeck

R - Erich Remarque - My favorite author

S - Troy Soos - especially good for baseball fans

T - Amor Towles (A Gentleman in Moscow)

U - Um, House on Endless Waters by Emuna Elon

V - Verily I say unto you, read Corelli’s Mandolin and Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernieres

W - Michael White (Soul Catcher)

X - There is exactly one book that I read and then never read again because the first reading was so perfect: How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn

Y - You don’t need to read all of it (it gets a bit repetitive) but Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

Z - Carlos Ruiz Zafon (The Shadow of the Wind)

Not a complete list by any means. What would you put on your list?
