James Lee Burke's Top 5 Books
These are books that I think perhaps help us to understand the times in which we are living.
 The Garden of Last Daysby Andre Dubus III This is a stunning novel written by one of the most talented writers working today. His insight into the American heart is wonderful. |
 The Seven Pillars of Wisdomby T.E. Lawrence No book, in my opinion, contains as much knowledge about the Mideast and the Islamic mind as this one. The prose is extraordinary and Lawrence himself is one of the most intriguing figures of the 20th century. |
 Mariette in Ecstasy by Ron Hansen This novel is perhaps the best metaphysical mystery story ever written. It is also a superb allegory about the altruist surrounded by mediocrity. |
 Angel's Tipby Alafair Burke I may have a parental bias, but I think this is one of the best novels narrated by a NYPD detective that I have ever read. |
 Of Love and Dustby Ernest J. Gaines In my opinion, this is the best novel ever written about race relations in the United States. It is also an incredible love story as well as crime story. |
