I have been reading a lot this month (more than usual, anyway) and thought I would just list a few of the books that have come across my bedside table:
- The Other Side of Darkness, a fascinating novel by Melody Carlson in which she tackles two difficult subjects – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and cults. A disturbing but interesting read.
- Another novel, The Almost True Story of Ryan Fisher by Rob Stennet, is a quirky look at modern megachurches.
- On the nonfiction side, there’s The Waiter Rant by the Waiter, an insider look at working in food service in America. While I found this interesting, it definitely has its depressing side as well.
- Within the last week, I picked up Jenny McCarthy’s new book Mother Warriors: A Nation of Mothers Healing Autism Against All Odds and devoured it within 24 hours. In it, she tells her story from when she started speaking out after writing her first book and also shares the stories of several different families who have seen biomedical interventions make a huge difference for their children. Very inspiring!
So that’s what sticks out in my mind from the last few weeks. If you have a suggestion for my November reading list, feel free to let me know in the comments!
