This week's topic:
"What three books are most important to you/do you re-read most frequently?"

Let me start by saying that I've always been a reader.  I blame my mom.  First grade teachers always have the best books!

We all love Dr. Seuss, right?  Well...this is one of his lesser known books (at least I've never had any friends who have heard of this book...much less read it) and I simply adore it.  I guess I should also point out the irony of a hardcore insomniac choosing a kids book about sleep... Nah, let's not go there.  :-)

"When you put out your light,
Then the number will be
Ninety-nine zillion
Nine trillion and three.

Good night."

My freshman year of high school I fell in love with this book.  So well written, so scary, thought provoking!  Amazingly, I like scary books...but abhor scary movies.



I picked up this book during a trip to England and literally devoured it on a train ride to Edinburgh.  Such a great example of how one small mistake can change the course of your life.  Oh, and the movie was almost as good as the book!

Honorable mentions to:

Harry Potter (the whole series)

Nora Roberts books

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Sense and Sensability by Jane Austen
