Looks like a good list. I’ve read Mountains Beyond Mountains and The Diary of a Young Girl, Eat, Pray, Love, and Night, all of which I really enjoyed. Three Cups of Tea is coming up in our book club, so I’ll be looking forward to that as well!
I highly recommend ‘My Life In France’ if you are a Julia Child fan. Excellent!!
I’ve been waiting and waiting on the library’s list for Child’s classic! Glad to hear it’s worth the wait
I think you’ll club will enjoy discussing Tea — mine did!
I’m looking forward to reading his second work now…
