A book that has made you think long after you have finished reading it

Birdsong by Sebastian Foulkes, a great book with the war scenes very moving.

Yes, the 'Women's Room' and 'The Giver of Stars'. Earlier, Pride and Prejudice', 'Lord of the Flies', 'Brave New World' 'The Ship who Sang' and 'Clan of the Cave Bear'
Last week, 'The Midnight Library'.

Daughter of Time by Josephine Tay. I’ve read it over and over and listened to the audio book.

The Long Walk by Slavonic Rawicz
The most amazing book I have ever picked up, the strength of the human spirit is beyond measure.

Memoir of Emanuel Litvinof, Journey Through a Small Planet. I remember it as a place I have been to and people I have met rather than a book.

We Need to Talk about Kevin - I read the ending 3 times!
The Bronze Horseman left me bereft
Wuthering Heights, still love it

Agree with so many of you
We need to talk about Kevin-not the only book dealing with this subject, but by far the best, absolutely harrowing.
The Light between Oceans- beautiful and moving, I actually thought the film was pretty good as well
To Kill a Mocking Bird- amazing

To Kill A Mocking Bird.

We Need to Talk About Kevin. I was telling my daughter about it not long after I'd read it and I started crying again and couldn't finish what I wanted to say!

I loved Light between Oceans. It was so heart rending I couldn't help thinking what if things had been different for them. Its also a film but the book is always so much more descriptive.

me too simtib, A Thousand Splendid Suns, read it years ago and it is still with me. Also The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri, thought provoking.

I read 'Telling Liddy' by Anne Fine - what an example of how a family can fall apart, and how dangerous speaking out can be.
I read Daphne du Maurier's 'The Loving Spirit' as a teenager and found it so powerful that I dreamt about it.
'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' had me in tears - I was reading it as part of a course, but found the exploitation so cruel that I could read only one chapter at a time!

I love many of the books suggested on here
I have just finished reading a book called A Man Called Ove - I absolutely loved it ?

That was a fantastic book, loved it. There is a film too.

We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver and the diving -bell and the butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby. I still think about them regularly despite having read them both years ago.

Me too- A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini has probably made more impact on me than any other book I've ever read.

Nausea - Jean Paul Sartre
The Tin Drum - Gunter Grass

The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini.
It was chosen by a member of our book club in 2003, I don't think that I would have read it otherwise. I'm so glad I did.

‘Mirror’ of course it is Grandmajean. ?

I’m reading that now, I have to say I’m not enjoying it as much as the previous books.
But I like Thomas Cromwell, and knowing how it’s going to end is spoiling it for me.

A little Life.....amazing, a lot I know find it depressing.
I Pilgrim, I’ve just read this week certainly left me thinking too although a different genre.

I read ‘The Candle and the Light’ last summer reelashosser you’re in for a treat! Every bit as good as Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies. I cried at the end, it was so poignant. Daft really because we all know how Thomas Cromwell dies but it was so well written.

Think it's "The Mirror and the Light" and it's on my list too. We have it as DH got it for Christmas. I liked "Wolf Hall" but loved "Bring up the Bodies"

Reality Transurfing and Tufti the High Priestess both by Russian mystic Vadim Zeland.

I've read A Little Life twice so far. There is cruelty in it, but love wins out, so leaves one optimistic. Likewise Poisonwood Bible. I know Why the Caged Bird Sings by May Angelou is only the first of several about her early life, and look how she turned out - again, leaves you with good feelings about the human race. I love the Outlander series for the romance, history and all the information about herbal medicine plus many other things. I love the first two of Hilary Mantel's Cromwell series so much that I can't bring myself to read the final one! All these books are imprinted on me and have read me to read and learn more, bringing so much more interest and knowledge into my life.
