Feed Your Brain: Book Buffet
Today's presenter was Timmy Brown '25.
Timmy Brown recommends The Stand by Stephen King.

What I liked about this book ...
I like that the book is on the longer side and many times it made me think, "What would I do in this situation?"

Why I think you would like it ...
If you like longer books that are a little dark then you might like this book.
Bonus!
