catching up on posting about my reading this fall! september's books were:
caste: the origin of our discontents, by isabel wilkerson (i listened to the audiobook of this one, which was fantastic - this author is a beautiful writer and her research is fascinating and important. put this on your list!)
the book of longings, by sue monk kidd (i kind of can't stop talking about this book, the author's imagining of the life of jesus, told from the perspective of his wife. i found so appealing her vision of jesus without the miracles but with the incredible moral code that draws me to some of the things he taught. highly recommend this one.)
the bomber mafia, by malcolm gladwell (another audiobook - five or six hours long, so totally manageable, and with excellent audio clips from the 1940s in it. if you like gladwell, this will not disappoint. i recommend listening to it.)
a fire in the night, by christopher swann (the third book by a former coworker of mine from atlanta. it's not as good as his first book, but i loved that it was set in the mountains of north carolina, and i did find the plot compelling. don't rush out and buy this, but if you happen upon it it's worth a read.)
