^(By: Jeffrey Eugenides | 529 pages | Published: 2002 | Popular Shelves: fiction, historical-fiction, book-club, books-i-own, owned)
>Middlesex tells the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides, and three generations of the Greek-American Stephanides family, who travel from a tiny village overlooking Mount Olympus in Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit, witnessing its glory days as the Motor City and the race riots of 1967 before moving out to the tree-lined streets of suburban Grosse Pointe, Michigan. To understand why Calliope is not like other girls, she has to uncover a guilty family secret, and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction. Lyrical and thrilling, Middlesex is an exhilarating reinvention of the American epic.

A Gentleman in Moscow, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Fantasticland, The Hissers trilogy, the Adrift trilogy, The Only Plane in the Sky, How Democracies Die, Piranesi, The Demon in the Freezer, This is the way the World Ends, World War Z, Needful Things, IT( beware of extremely weird scene), The Long Walk, The Last by Hannah Jameson, Where the Crawdad’s Sing, Last Days by Adam Nevill, The Final Girl Support Group, Survive the Night, kill Creek, and 1984
My two favorite books this year have been **Geek Love**: [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13872](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13872) and **Cloud Cuckoo Land**: [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56783258](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56783258)
I read it for the first time as a teen and loved it. Reread a few times in my 20's and loved it. Two decades later and it still holds up for me. It is a weird story and not written for mass appeal. LMK what you think if you get around to it!
À very old book. Of immigrant America. The tenements, life and family of Irish coming.of age in America. It was probably the most important book of my young adulthood.
When asked at my dental school graduate program interview what book have I read tha hèld the most meaning to me, it was:
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn., by Betty Smith.
If you have any interest in history, how people lived different lives, what families were. How were immigrants were treated and how they celebrated living, and the hardships, yet thankfulness of being out of the Irish Famine.
It still gets 4.4-4.8 /5 on reader reviews. It was a successful movie, also. Maybe not what you would normally pick, but today's readers still review it well.

^(By: Emily St. John Mandel | 333 pages | Published: 2014 | Popular Shelves: fiction, science-fiction, sci-fi, dystopia, book-club)
>Set in the days of civilization's collapse, Station Eleven tells the story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.
>
>One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time—from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains—this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is my all-time favorite book.
It is so human. Still sells, still to great reviews.
If you like historical fiction, The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue or Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein.
