My Favorite Books 2025

How are you creative?

A shout out to Wally Lamb for writing one of the saddest books I have read “The River is Waiting” it’s brilliant but I have to put it out of the Top 10.

  • A Walk on The Park – Kevin Fedarko – a trek across the Grand Canyon. The last few chapters are brilliant.
  • I See you Called in Dead -John Kenney -Poignant
  • Cruddy -Linda Barry – (my kiosk find of the year.)
  • My Friends -Fredrik Bachman (book of the year)
  • Feeding Ghosts -Tessa Hulls (found this while riding the escalator with our grandson)
  • UBIK -Phillip K Dick
  • Infinite Jest -(this was the spark behind one of the stories I had published)
  • The Grey Wolf – Louise Penny
  • I Who Have Never Known Men – Jacqueline Harpman -it is creepy and maddeningly brilliant
  • Instructions for a Funeral – David Means a collection of short stories that I found mesmerizing.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
