These are five of my favorite books: Stillness Speaks and A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle; To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison; and my latest book club pick, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski. I recommend any or all as great Christmas gifts, and I hope you're as inspired and moved by them as I am.
