Moving on from my depression! Today is another 10 Day You Challenge with 4 books.
One of my favorite books is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. This was assigned as extra credit in one of my high school English classes and I bought it but never read it. Or I'd start it and never finish it. When I finally got into it I couldn't help but love it.
Another favorite book of mine is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I could read this book over and over and never tire of it.
Now I'm kind of cheating but these books go along the same lines. I love to read rock biographies or autobiographies. The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band by Neil Strauss about Motley Crue is a pretty awesome book. They don't hold back about what really happened on the tours. Also, I'm With The Band: Confessions of a Groupie by Pamela Des Barres is also one of those books that made me want to run away and follow a rock band across country. I know these are not normal thoughts but I still wanted to do it!
Lastly, the Harry Potter Series. I grew up loving these books and they will always be some of my favorites. I remember my 5th grade teacher reading us The Sorcerer's Stone at the end of the day and I was still reading these in high school. This is one of those things I can't wait to introduce to my future children.
haha I could never get into the bell jar. I am sorry about your depression. I did the same thing with my old phone yesterday. Apparently we could have gotten more money!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I couldn't tell you why I love it so much. I think I'm just morbid and Sylvia Plath is just one of those infamous people. Of course she's infamous for the way she committed suicide but interesting none the less.
DeleteI love how many lists Harry Potter has been on this week :D Truly shows how great the books were and how amazing of a writer J.K. Rowling is.

I know! It really does. I am somewhat interested in her novel that she wrote for adults. But I don't want it to screw up how I feel about her and Harry Potter. Weird I know lol...
