Rules: in a text post, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard– they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. tag 10 friends, including me, so i’ll see your list ;3

1. Interview with the Vampire (+ VC in general) by Anne Rice – wELP… This goes w/o saying and it would be cheating if I listed more than that one, wouldn’t it?

2. the Shining by Stephen King – and the movie, too!

3. Animal Farm by George Orwell, illustrated by Ralph Steadman – this illustration style and this story is KILLER. Go check it out. Right now. I’ll wait.

4.

Firestarter

by Stephen King – and the movie, too! The beginning of my supernatural passion.

5.

The Long Hard Road Out of Hell – biography of Marilyn Manson, written with Neil Strauss

6. Jurassic Park by Michael Crieghton – and the movie, too!!

7. The Sneetches and Other Stories: Dr. Seuss – really good life lessons re: tolerance, etc., and excellent illustration.

8.

Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings by Shel Silverstein – some of these were really very gross and my childhood self loved it all!

9.

Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back by Shel Silverstein – a lion that essentially became a man and then no longer fit into the wild or civilized worlds. 

10. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez – My teenage angst phase.

Bonus:

11.

the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – for French class! I related to the rose, of course. There’s no rose w/o thorns. 

12.

Dogs: written and illustrated by Rien Poortvliet – gorgeous illustrations and sweet anecdotes re: doggies!

13.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding – I had to read this for school in middle school I think and I just loved it. 

14. Also LOTS of fanfic…. which of course does not exist…

^These are not in order of favorite aside from #1 yes I know I know! Just what comes to mind. Lots of Fluff & Angst there, sheesh. I like it fluffy and angsty what can I say.
