i was tagged by dontyouknowiminthisforlife
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.
1. The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein
2. The Cay - Theodore Taylor (I read this in the 6th grade and it was the first book to make me cry)
3. So Far From the Bamboo Grove - Yoko Kawashima Watkins
4. The Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank
5. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
6. Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
7. Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
8. Plan B - Jonathan Troppman
9. Pierced by a Sword - Bud Macfarlane Jr.
10. The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
These are not listed in any specific order of importance. And some of them didn’t necessarily touch me, but are merely some of my favorite books.
If i tag you it’s because i’m genuinely interested, and to give you something to ponder if you’re bored..but you are by no means obligated to participate. I’m just terrible at NOT following the rules :)
