Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!
In no particular order yo.
The Hitchhiker's Ultimate Guide To the Galaxy. Just when I feel safe in my science and logic, Douglas Adams throws me for a loop. Perfect marriage of philosophy, science, and nonsense (yes I cheated because this is technically 5 novels. sue me. ((no don't I have no monies.)))
Miss Marple: The complete short stories by Agatha Christie. Lets talk about a bad ass crime solving g-ma.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Basically all of Christie is gold. Always loved a good mystery.
Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut. Anything by Vonnegut is thought provoking and twisted and I am 100% convinced that he would be a serial killer if writing wasn't his outlet, but I love every second of it.
The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen by Rudolf Erich Raspe. Troll logic at it's finest, I read it in German but p sure you can read it in english. I can guarantee that all the stories are 100% true. Even the bouncing cucumber trees.
The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe. This is the story that we had to read in English that got me into Poe.
O. Henry: The Complete Short Stories by O. Henry. That was kinda redundant I know. Short stories that you can finish without a lot of commitment that are perfectly written.
Harry Potter (YES ALL OF THEM) by J.K. Rowling. (yes I cheated again) I will always be reading harry potter. Always.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Riddles in the dark is my favorite. My grandpa gave this to me when I was getting my tonsils out.
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Love the riddles and codes he used in this books. One of my more worn out books on my shelf because I bought a paperback for 50 cents at my local library and have dogeared the crap out of it.
