Three Book Meme-My Choices
Elena, Paula and Joakim have tagged me, so here are my choices. I deliberately chose not to include too many Catholic authors. Instead I have listed my favourite Catholic/Christian authors below.
********************
Three non-fiction books everyone should read:
1: Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi (lifts the lid on a group of Iranian women, who defied their totalitarian authorities)
2: Schindlers Ark by Thomas Keneally( This is its original title before Steven Speilberg changed it)
3: Etty Diary by Etty Hillesum (a poignant diary of a woman who was brutally murdered by the nazi machine)
********************
Three works of fiction that everyone should read:
1:To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee ( my first realisation of racism)
2: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell(what woman can resist such romance!)
3: Mila 18 by Leon Uris ( the first book I read where the Jewish people fought back-a masterpiece)
********************
Three authors everyone should read:
1: Catherine de Hueck Doherty ( her ability to truly live the Gospel message-I am NOT that brave)
2: Thomas Keneally (he is simply one of the best story tellers)
3: Taylor Caldwell ( I simply love her style of writing)
********************
Three books that nobody should read:
1: Marianne Williamson ( a dangerously seductive new age writer for the spiritually immature)
2: Dan Brown (need I say more)
3: John Shelby Spong ( A right nutter-totally bonkers)
********************
