Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry It will make you long for the simple beauty of agrarian Appalachia. It shows how hard it is to raise kids, lose loved ones, work hard and live a good life. One of my favorite fiction books ever.

I haven’t read a fiction book this year. I need to change that. The best nonfiction book I read this year was SoftWar, by Jason Lowery. Mind blowing!
