I'm an avid reader so I thought I would create this topic. What are your favorite books?
Mine....
"Rule of the Bone" by Russell Banks
I read this when I was about 15 and it remains one of my favorite books. I would describe it as a comming of age story with strong messages about change, finding your way through life and the importance of friendships.
"Prozac Nation" by Elizabeth Wurtzle
This is a memoir that very acurately describes what it's like to live with depression.
"A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey
This guy was on Oprah and there was a lot of controversy regarding this book because although he originally claimed it was non-fiction he later admited to making a lot of it up. Still a very, very good read.
I mostly read a lot of books about serial killers. One of my best friends and I have what we call "the creepy kids book club" and we just swap books about serial killers back and forth. Yea we're dorks and we're the only members in our book club haha
Not for the faint of heart but some of my recommended reads in that genre are
"Green River Running Red" by Anne Rule
About the green river killer of course.
"Mind Hunter" by John Douglas
Written by one of the FBI's leaders in criminal profiling.
"The Serial Killer Files" by Harold Schechter
I'm currently reading this one. Basically an overview of nearly every recorded serial killer, the different classifications of crimes, criminals, m.o's etc.
I'm always looking for new books and I'm excited to see what you guys recommend
