I decided to expand my horizons a bit and take a creative writing class. We have to bring our "favorite" novel to class.
HELP! If you are anything like me, there is no such thing as any one favorite. It makes my anxious to even think about picking just one!
So maybe if you guys start listing some of your favorites, it might kick-start my brain and help me narrow it down.
Anything goes, no book snobs here, it doesn''t have to be a work of literary genius.
Some of my faves to start us off:
The Sun Also Rises- Hemingway
Middlesex- Jeffrey Euginedes
Evening- Susan Minot
I Know This Much Is True- Wally Lamb
The Corrections- Jonathan Franzen
We The Living- Ayn Rand
The Talisman- Stephen King & Peter Straub
Pride & Prejudice- Jane Austen
The Sound and the Fury- Faulkner
Still Life With Woodpecker- Tom Robbins
My Sister''s Keeper- Jodi Piccoult
Ok, stopping now to let others in, but seriously could go on forever...
Any thoughts?
