My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok

5.0

If I were an author, I would love to be able to write like Potok. A book that pulls you in, and doesn't let you go until you finish the last word.

I read [b:The Chosen|187181|The Chosen (Reuven Malther, #1)|Chaim Potok|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1403191327l/187181._SY75_.jpg|1336083] back in high school, and that was the beginning of my love for this author. I have read it multiple times. I used to think that [b:The Book of Lights|11498|The Book of Lights|Chaim Potok|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1166479789l/11498._SY75_.jpg|13942] was my favorite. Now, after reading this book again, I think I have no Potok favorites, I just love them all. His books still resonate, they are as illuminating as when I read them as a teenager.
