All That Is
by James Salter
This is a novel to be savored and pondered from start to finish; one of the most emotional novels I have ever read. In a series of vignettes, Salter can summon up the intensity of a young man’s sexual desire to midlife maturity’s need to find what life is all about. But truly, there is much, much more to this novel; it’s a brilliant, entrancing work of art!

Oliver
by Birgitta Sif
I love this story about a boy who likes to spend his time alone. As a shy young lady, a story like this would have really spoken to me when I was a girl. Though Oliver likes to be by himself, one day he sets out on an adventure that changes everything about how he sees the world.
