Fun While I’m Gone

Got this idea for a little group activity in my absence from Rebecca over at SmithWriting: Your favorite books.

Here are some of mine:

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving (life changing, seriously)
The Liars’ Club by Mary Karr (the ballsiest memoir ever – a knockout!)
An American Childhood by Annie Dillard (this woman knows description!)
Lake Wobegon Days by Garrison Keillor (the only book I’ve read 3 times and laughed through every time)
The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway (do we need his first name, I mean really?)
Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin (no finer fiction has ever been written beyond ‘Sonny’s Blues’)
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (this book, and Owen Meany, will change your life)

What are your favorites? Why?
