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 sound and the fury by william faulkner quentin's section essentially made me rethink my position on stream-of-consciousness writing and also!!! southern fiction!! deconstruction of the myth of the deep south!! yes!!
2. speak by laurie halse anderson like.... damn. 3. the family fang by kevin wilson 4. the girl with the pearl earring by tracy chevalier it's stuck w me for two reasons: one, because i read it in ap art history, aka the class that fundamentally changed me on a deep, emotional level and 2. it's brilliantly written and tracy chevalier is fantastic 5. the princess diaries series by meg cabot i am mia thermopolis 6. the bell jar by sylvia plath i am, i am, i am. 7. the outsiders by s.e. hinton this was the first book that i ever cried over and also the first book i ever made a mixtape about and also so so so perfect i love it i love it i love it 8. the song of achilles by madeleine miller i sobbed. i'm still sobbing. i have never stopped sobbing. 9. the harry potter series by jk rowling 10. in cold blood by truman capote my 10th grade english teacher was so into true crime novels and she was obsessed with this book. she was so amazing and the lessons she taught, particularly regarding this book, were so amazing. ok there we go! i tag @favriles mackattackstrikesagain and purpleclogs
