some of my favorites…
…in no particular order ….
 
… books
 
Endurance by Alfred Lansing
Non-fiction, but reads like fiction. The story of Ernest Shackleton's adventure / exploration in Antarctica - awesome read and it WILL cool you off in the summer!!! Put on a sweater!

The 5th Sacred Thing by Starhawk
A novel about a utopian, futuristic society living in peace!

Forever by Pete Hamill
A young man is granted immortality as long as he does not leave the island of Manhattan. A fascinating way to tell the story of Manhattan from the beginning to about now. Wonderful combination of history and sci-fi.

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
Thought provoking! The philosophical dialog between a man and a gorilla about what has gone wrong with human civilization!

The Journey Home – Kyron, channeled by Lee Carroll
A man’s inner journey to life fulfillment.

Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss
Non-fiction account of a patient’s past lives experiences.

Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hahn
Thoughts on living a peaceful and mindful life.

Pope Joan by Donna Woodfolk Cross
Historical fiction about a woman who became pope!? (Great read, the ending is a little cheesy!)

Replay by Ken Grimwood
What would you do if you had to live a period of your life over and over and over…

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
In 2019 a space mission is launched to a planet to be known as Rakhat. Probably one of the best books I have ever read and I am not a sci-fi fan.

And yes, I am a Harry Potter fan!

And let’s not forget some classics…
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Centennial by James Mitchner
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
The Thornbirds by Colleen McCullough
 
 
 
 
… games
 
Canasta
I learned this classic card game when I was in preschool and have been playing it ever since.

Carcassone by Klaus-Juergen Wrede
Placing tiles to create cities, fields and roads.

Cartagena by Leo Colovini
Help your pirates escape through the tunnel, but they have to stick together! Easy, fun and fast game using a combination of board and cards.

Ido by Bernhard Weber
Move your game pieces or move the grid. Get 4 of your pieces off the board first. Great game for spatial thinkers!

Ingenious by Reiner Knizia
Placing tiles with designs to score the most points. But there is a twist to how to win! Easy, easy game rules, great game!

Elfenland by Alan Moon
Board game using cards and traveling tokens to help the elves journey through Elfenland on their way to adulthood. Probably my favorite game!

Manhattan by Andreas Seyfarth
Build skyscrapers and own neighborhoods in Manhattan.

Perudo
Liar’s dice

Pick 2
Build an ever-changing crossword puzzle - FAST!

Quarto! (idea by Blaise Muller)
Similar to tic-tac-toe BUT everybody uses all the pieces (which differ in 8 different ways) to get 4 in a row. Very cool game for 2 players!

Torres by W. Krämer / W. Kiesling
Board game – place your knights and build castles. Use cards for additional bonus points.

Wise & Otherwise
Finish old sayings from around the world. Hilarious group game.
