12 did I enjoy any compulsory high school readings. I liked my APUSH textbook and everything I had to read for AP Spanish lit (chac mool was my favorite but I am still dining out on having to know borges, Lorca, that green chair book, 100 years, etc). I respect the great gatsby as a pedagogical tool. A separate peace is like training wheels American Forster . So of course I liked it. Yeah that’s about it I think

top 5: hmm okay. This is my list im not making other people follow it. Im not counting nonfiction. Jane Eyre; Epictetus’ Handbook; The Princess Bride; The End of the Affair I think; Mislaid has still got it. And I guess fifth is whatever Jane Austen book I am vibing with at the moment. I still love her but mentioning her feels like mentioning the fucking Bible. Oh have you read the Bible? Pretty good. Also I removed a tree grows in Brooklyn bc I don’t know if I can vouch for it every moment of the day as the worlds best book. But maybe I could…..
