Book 2: The e-reader recommended "Cloud Cuckoo Land," and I had some vague recollection that a friend had recommended Anthony Doerr, so got it. Read it. Loved it (for the most part).

My dad has been going back to his classical Greek in retirement, so I recommended ti to him. Turns out he had just finished Doerr's "All the Light We Cannot See," so that will likelly be next.

Anthony 's is hands down the best book I've read this year. It's a timely and tragically beautiful reminder of the fragility of life. The love and care with which handles his material is breathtaking and evident at every level. CCL powerfully demonstrates what good literature can achieve and why we need it now more than ever.

Just finished reading by Anthony Doerr. What a wow of a book. About the importance of storytelling, about humanity, hope and optimism.

"Cloud Cuckoo Land" by Anthony Doerr.

I read by the same author earlier this year. "All the Lights We Cannot See" is a story of a blind French girl and Nazi-educated German boy. And their riveting plot.

is a story of multiple ppl, evolving around the siege of but also 21th century and even not-so-distant future.

Seeing lists of 7 ..perhaps it's a function of age but I can't possibly narrow my list to 7! Favorite book of the past 6 months or so is definitely by Anthony Doer. Any other fans??
