  • The Hacienda (Lisa St. Aubin de Teran)
  • The Glass Castle (Jeannette  Walls)
  • Anna Karenina (Leo Tolstoy)
  • Crime and Punishment (FM Dostoevsky)
  • Once in house on fire (Andrea Ashworth)
  • Rowing without oars (Ulla-Carin Lindquist)
  • The Good Earth (Pearl S. Buck)
  • The Good women of China (Xinran)
  • Without a Map (Meredith Hall)
  • Any and all books by M.J. Ryan
  • Buddhism for Mothers (Sarah Naphtali)
  • Man's search for meaning (Viktor Frankl)
  • All the Tintin books (Herge)
  • Ibn Fadlan & the Land of Darkness (Penguin Classics) 
  • The Stig Larsson-trilogy was great!

My memory is somewhat limited at the moment...  will add more titles when I can think of them! 
I prefer non-fiction to fiction.
