20 Books (give or take)

Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 8:57pm

Don't spend too much time on this unless you have a lot of time on your hands. List 20 books you've read and that have left a mark. The first 20 you can recall, in no particular order of preference.  It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes. Tag 15 friends, including me because I want to know what my friends picked. To do this: go to your "Notes" on your profile and paste these Rules on a new note, type up your 20 books and tag away!

    Jodi Arata I will have you know that I wrote an e-mail to Stephen Cosgrove and I told him the mark he made on my childhood and that I had a tattoo of Serendipity on my ankle - he was really awesome and kind in return! Plus, he responded promptly.

    Jodi Arata Oh man, I read The Joy Luck Club in like 9th grade and I remember LOVING IT. I definitely need to reread that one. Also, White Fang definitely left a mark on my psyche...it was so disturbing in parts, definitely one that assaults you emotionally.
    
    So many on here I need to read!! Enders Game! Pride and Prejudice!
