A world of books...

"I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina, and strolled down Swann's Way. It's a rewarding world..." -Rory Gilmore-Gilmore Girls-


I love to read and have piles of books all over my apartment. I also often carry books with me in my purse (like Rory). I decided to start this blog because I usually have tons of things I'd like to say about a book and no one to say them to. I think reading is so awesome and I wish more people did it. I will start with my top 10 books of all time (in no particular order besides no. 1) :

1. To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower- Stephen Chbosky
3. A Separate Peace- John Knowles
4. The Time Traveler's Wife- Audrey Niffenegger
5. The Giving Tree- Shel Silverstein
6. A Million Little Pieces- James Frey
7. Cider House Rules- John Irving
8. Brokeback Mountain- Annie Proulx
9. Harry Potter Series- J.K. Rowling
10. When You Are Engulfed In Flames- David Sedaris

(ok it's my top 11 then, I'm on a roll)
11. The Lorax- Dr. Seuss
