Books I read on someone's recommendation:
Two friends in junior high recommended Nine Tomorrows by Isaac Asimov. This was the only cover I could find on Amazon, but I read all of his Robot books and as many of his other books that I could. The Science Fiction Book Club helped a bit in diversifying my interest in other sci-fi writers too.
A student in the high school psychology class recommended this book to me and I used it over the years while teaching the course. It's a synopsis of world philosophy brilliantly written.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
She Who Comes Forth by Audrey Driscoll
Reviewed by Berthold Gambrell and I love stories set in Egypt. I also read a few of her other books and I keep up on her gardening blog.
Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray
This book was recommended by an attorney who spoke at an inservice while I was teaching. It improved my marriage and I used it while teaching high school psychology.

My spouse recommended Sophie's World to me shortly after started dating. It's such a good book! I really should reread it sometime. :)
My post.
Six of Crows is actually being made into a series (on Netflix, I think). My daughter is unreasonably excited about that! LOL...
I absolutely love Asimov... the Six of Crows, I'm not familiar with but it sounds like I need to be. You can find my post here.
Interesting list. I'll have to look a few of these up. Thanks!
The Husbeast recommended Asimov to me early in our relationship. Definitely enjoyed the short stories that eventually made up the "I Robot" collection!
I've seen good buzz about Bardugo's Six of Crows. Might have to check that one out :D
Sophie's World is a wonderful book!
Glad to know you read it, Lydia
It should make a good series, Marianne
Asimov made me the reader I am today. Thanks for your comments
