- Dear World, by Bana Alabed
The Rowan Tree is to dignatarianism as Atlas Shrugged is to objectivism. There. Go look those up.
Except, I enjoyed Rowan tree and thought that it has some interesting and possible philosophy to explore.
The Healing Heart stories were good, useful for culling some stories for Spellbinders.
Anathem - still working on this one, took me a while to get into the alternate universe
12 Rules for Life is like your crusty old uncle trying to give you life advice but get side tracked by his own (obviously well loved) stories. Not particularly well written or useful, don't recommend, but you know, it it's YOUR uncle....
Dear World is heart warming and heart breaking all at once. Quick read, recommend.
