What book would you give your best friend to read and why?

Post by briannamarie19 »

Everyone goes through trials in life and sometimes books help us realize things that we didn't before. Think about a situation in your best friends life that's a little rocky, and tell me what book you would recommend them to read and why.

My best friend and I always give each other books to read. There isn't many that she hasn't read that I have. I guess I'd lend her the 5th Wave by Rick Yancey and Ashes of Twilight by Kassy Tayler. There's a lot more to choose but those are the ones I thought of right away.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. It's a page turner and I think it's a book for almost all audiences! Kids, teens and adults alike would enjoy it.

There are so many to choose from but one of the first books I gave my best friend was Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. I find it moving, thought provoking and inspiring.

Well considering my dad and mom are my best friends (corny I know, but you grow to appreciate them after you start your own family) I would give them The Shack by William P. Young. Its just an amazing story about a man who looses his child and his relationship with God. Its an amazing read and really gets you thinking.

I would give my best friend some financial books like Rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki so that she can gain some financial knowledge and can be financially independent sooner.

I recently read The Psychology of Money by Brian Housel and I think he'd learn a lot from that book.

It depends on who that friend is and where they are in life. But generally I love The Maestro Monologue. It is about personal growth, it does not get much into spirituality but it could easily be made to be that because of the principles it goes by. Such as teaching the reader that they have complete free will over their lives and can control their reality through habits and beliefs.
