Can You Name Ten Books That Have Affected You in Some Way?
Late last summer there was a post going around Facebook that asked you to pick ten books that had stayed with you or had an effect on you in some way, and then tag ten friends to do the same.
Lists + books are just the kind of nerdy thing I love, so I was excited when I was tagged. Here are the ten I chose:
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg
Daring Greatly by Brene Brown (see her inspiring TED talk here)
The Gold Coast by Nelson Demille
Ordinary People by Judith Guest
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
The Big Short by Michael Lewis
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
You were not supposed to think too long or hard about your list, or worry about if they’re the “right” books or not.
Have you ever made a list like this? What book or books have stayed with you in some way?
I love this post. Books are such a key part of my life.
Pride & Prejudice- Jane Austen
East of Eden- John Steinbeck
Presumed Innocent
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Steve Jobs by Walter Issacson
The Wave by Susan Casey-Scientific accounting of the ocean after years of research.
The Partner by John Grisham- its based on a current subject and very thought provoking .
Nepenthe by Romney Steele about early Big Sur families and sustaining a business since the 70’s.
The Poetry of Robert Frost by Robert Frost
What a varied and interesting list, Lexie. I see a couple of my favorites, a few others I’m familiar with, and some I want to check out. Thank you for sharing.
