alright so i was tagged by the lovely ewebie (who has a GREAT list btw, check it here) to list 10 books that have affected my life/stuck with me in some way

okay here we go, i'm gonna explain some of them because i'm a dweeb

***order doesn't matter!

1. lolita by vladimir nabakov some of you guys know that i'm writing my senior thesis this year on lolita because of how much it affected me in 10th grade when i first read it. it still shocks me how persuasive language can be and how, in less than 300 pages, nabakov can force readers to sympathize with a pedophile.

2. the bell jar by sylvia plath

3. why we broke up by daniel handler

4. crush by richard siken don't talk to me don't touch me don't look at me, this book has been my life for the past 4 years, i carry a totally beaten-up copy in my bag always, i've underlined and highlighted my analyses over and over again in it, i have taken this book and stripped it of all symbolism, broken it down and memorized its anatomy. i have never had a book strike me as much as crush. when richard siken accepted my friend request on facebook, i cried.

5. the dream songs by john berryman

6. the scary stories treasury by alan schwartz i know this sounds funny but this book got me into scary stories and over my fear of the unknown, death, and fear itself. i owe a lot to schwartz.

7. lucy in the sky by anonymous

8. heart of darkness by joseph conrad

9. it's kind of a funny story by ned vizzini

10. the harry potter series by j.k. rowling

okay so i'm tagging oursoulslikewheels, slumberpatch, missygreer, theperksofbeingabooknerd, paperheartreplica, sammysshampoo, cupcakesweeties, and vulcanmoonlight :)

don't forget to tag me back if you post, i love seeing book recs from people!
