  • Rainbow Fish

    Rainbow Fish
    Was/is one of my favorite books of all time. Lesson of sharing stuck with me. Loved the colors as a kid.
  • Failed Comprehension--Second grade

    Failed Comprehension--Second grade
    I don't really know why I remember this so significantly, but I do. I took a read-aloud test and failed the comprehension portion. Worked to be better.
  • Twilight Epidemic

    Twilight Epidemic
    I am convinced I started this trend at my school in fifth grade. It made me fall in love with getting lost in books.
  • Don Quixote

    Don Quixote
    Read together in Spanish class, solidified reading comprehension in Spanish.
  • 1984

    1984
    Very impacted by its message and really opened my mind. Got me to really begin to think critically about the world around me. Also one of my favorite classics.
  • Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet
    Found the language frustrating and pointless at the time. Was one of the only books I remember reading in ninth grade.
  • The Scarlet Letter

    The Scarlet Letter
    HATED this book, was bored to tears, made me dislike old literature for a period of time.
  • An Ideal Husband

    An Ideal Husband
    LOVED this play by Oscar Wilde. Regained an appreciation for Old Literature. Laughed so much. One of my favorite classics.
  • Paradise Lost

    Paradise Lost
    Very emotional/memorable. Loved that it gave a hugely different perspective of the devil and his story, so intriguing and creative.
  • Frankenstein

    Frankenstein
    One of the few books that brought me to tears. Loved the writing style--felt so much sympathy. Favorite classic book.
  • Everything I Never Told You

    Everything I Never Told You
    Began to realize how much I appreciate good writing style. First book I read having known nothing about it.
