What's Your Favorite Book?
I am asking people about their favorite books--I am trying to encourage the youth I work with to read more, and read a variety of books. It is great that they, for instance, love the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers, or the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, but it is so important to read other types of books, other genres. Here are some of the favorite books that have come up:
Like Water For Chocolate—Laura Esquivel
The Bearded Lady—Sharlee Dieguez
Rose Madder—Stephen King
Where the Sidewalk Ends—Shel Silverstein
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil—John Berendt
Prozac Nation—Elizabeth Wurtzel
A Midsummer Nights Dream—William Shakespeare
It has been fun remembering the great books I've read along the way, and some of the not-so-greats (I'm SORRY, but I don't get Hemingway). Please, if you have favorite books, leave me a comment. I would love to recommend your favorite book to the youth.
