Fred's Top 5 Book Recommendations
By Fred Venturini

A rolling list of what I'm recommending. There are no criteria, you'll just find nothing but great books that shook me on this list. Hey, it's my list, I'll do what I want, okay?

Stephen Florida
Gabe Habash
$16.95 $15.76The voice of this novel is like finding an ocean you didn't know existed and riding its biggest wave, and the rocks are there right in front of you, and are you going to hit them? Or not?

The Nix
Nathan Hill
$19.00 $17.67A rich, surprising, beautiful, moving, funny, incredible novel. My favorite read of the last five years.

The Haters
Jesse Andrews
$9.95 $9.25Criminally under-read by the general public, Jesse Andrews unleashes his signature voice in this hilarious, heartfelt page-turner.

All the Castles Burned
Michael Nye
$17.99 $16.73When Michael Nye wins the Pulitzer and everyone is calling him America's greatest living novelist, will YOU be able to say you were reading him long before everyone else? This debut novel has it all, and I feel like my castle has been burning ever since I finished it.

Meditations: A New Translation (Revised)
Marcus Aurelius
$11.00 $10.23One of history's most famous figures and greatest thinkers wrote a journal he never meant for anyone to read. Inside are the wise and transformative words that everyone needs to hear and abide by. One of the most important reads of my adult life.
