Harriet the Spy or maybe The Hobbit?
To Kill a Mockingbird
Handmaid's Tale
there's too many that i can't pick just one. memoirs of a geisha, kite runner, fat girl, lots of short story collections...
@TheRealDelia for the first two, LOTR. Then, The Anubis Gates. Now, not sure.
@TheRealDelia I don't think I had a favorite book when I was 11. My favorite comic book was Howard the Duck. Before that, it was Plop.
At 16, I was deeply into "The Destroyer" series, by Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy.
Somewhere in my early 20s, I read Greg Bear's "Eon," about a hollowed out asteroid built by our descendants from an alternate timeline.
Today, my favorite non-fiction book is "The Lucifer Principle," by Howard Bloom, and "Eon" is still my favorite sci-fi novel.
@TheRealDelia 6th grade: The Bean Trees
16: Jonathan Livingston Seagull
22: Paradise Lost
Now: Paradise Lost, Moby-Dick, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Code Name Verity
6th Grade: probably one of the Target Doctor Who novels
16 Years Old: Agatha Christie's "Curtain: Poirot's Last Case"
22 Years Old: Christopher Fowler's "Rune"
Now: Preston's & Child's "The Relic", if I have to pick one
@thedisasterautist I went through an Agatha Christie phase around that time too! Christopher Fowler is a favorite of mine too. I haven’t read The Relic, but I’ll put it in my list!
@thedisasterautist @TheRealDelia
Preston and Child's Pendergast series is my all time fav. New one coming out new month. I can't get enough of Agent P.
16: Read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
22: Read it again.
I wrote what I felt about it each time. My 22 yo self didn't love it at all. Some cuss words may have been included.
Favorite book, 🤔 I would have to say I don't have one, but many. I read Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, as well as Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways. Have my worn copies, along with my True Crime collection, which started when it was considered weird to read about crime.
@TheRealDelia Oh, yeah. I forgot about Good Omens and American Gods...also, The Sandman Series, but those are graphic novels.
@LilydelBarrio Graphic novels count!
Me:
12: The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper
16: All books by Stephen King & Tolkien
22: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, All things Anne Rice
