I'm to emotional when that genre is included. :P Wonderful post though!<br /><br />Lola @ <a href="http://hitormissbooks.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Hit or Miss Books</a>Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239617000942734999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443678448207114587.post-35257769639730117202014-08-07T22:00:01.057-04:002014-08-07T22:00:01.057-04:00Interesting list!

My favourite will probably always remain The Bell Jar.<br /><br />Of the books you’ve mentioned, I’ve only read “The Curious Incident...”. Except for “Still Alice”, which I haven’t heard of before, all the other books are ones that are on my reading list. I especially want to read “Flowers for Algernon”!<br /><br />Some other books I’d like to get around to are John Elder Robinson’s “Look Me In the Eye”, Elyn R. Saks’s “The Center Cannot Hold” (both non-fiction) as well as “Girl, Interrupted” by Susanna Kaysen!Linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045326768447623910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443678448207114587.post-38860446108413663212014-08-07T02:10:11.528-04:002014-08-07T02:10:11.528-04:00Awesome picks, Iwant to read these!
