I'm looking for an inspiring book. Something sustaining and insightful. I am a 71 guy who has been through quite a few life & health issues in the last two years. Looking for 'probably' non-fiction, but inspiration can come from all sorts of places, I'm looking for an inspiring book. Something sustaining and insightful. I am a 71 guy who has been through quite a few life & health issues in the last two years. Looking for 'probably' non-fiction, but inspiration can come from all sorts of places, so could be fiction. Definitely one of the two 😉. Nonfiction authors I have appreciated: Michael Lewis, Malcom Gladwell, Adam Grant, Eric Larsen among others. Used to read more about business, social issues, and for a while - Buddhism. Fiction I have enjoyed - John Barth, James Clavel, Michener and Leon Uris for historical fiction back in the day. Really enjoyed Love in the Time of Cholera. All the Light We Cannot See was masterful story-telling. More recently - Coleson Whitehead, James McBride, and Matt Haig. In these tumultuous political times, I appreciated the gravitas and perspective of Franklin and Winston by Jon Meacham. So that is a bit of background. Looking for something that will speak to me and fit the moment. Prefer not an 800 page tome... Is that enough to go on? I have no idea... but thank you for any ideas or for just reading this!...more
