Books with a Lasting Impression

Published on 2 January 2025 at 11:26

Over the holidays, friends and I mused on books that made a lasting impression. If you’ve looked toward the bottom of my author page on Amazon, under Anthony Mays’ book recommendations you may have seen a few special books. For the category, What’s a book that left an impression on you?, I show Stop the World by Sherry Mayes (no relation) https://www.amazon.com/Stop-World-Sherry-Mayes-ebook/dp/B019BOXL8S

And, although an unusual author, I could have easily listed Hit and Run by Dr. Bob Rich https://www.amazon.com/Hit-Run-Dr-Bob-Rich-ebook/dp/B07DFF3KBX.

But the one book that stays with me the most is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. This true-crime book has become a modern classic and should be on everyone’s reading list. https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Garden-Good-Evil-Berendt-ebook/dp/B003JMFKVK
