IT by Stephen King: The Audiobook that Will Scare You to Death

Pet Sematary by Stephen King

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
One of my favorite books assigned to me in high school was Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. I recently read it again and found just as much enjoyment a second time. The title, Siddhartha, is formed from two Sanskrit words to mean “he who has found meaning” and contains numerous spiritual ...
Who Moved My Cheese? By Spencer Johnson
This is an easy to read, self-help book. I’m not usually into self-help books but a coworker suggested it to me because of recent changes at work. The book is short, quick, eye-opening, and inspirational if you are looking for a change. I would recommend Who Moved My Cheese? if ...
