Books: Suggestions!

The hardest part for some is finding the right book to read so I thought I would make it easier. I made a list of books I absolutely adore with links to amazon, and pictures of movies based of the books for your convenience! Enjoy and let me know what you think of the list.

The Outsiders
Read this in middle school and still remains one of my favorite books. After I read this book I desperately wanted to be a greaser haha. It really touched me because when I read this I was going through a very tough time in my life. This book just helped me escape and helped me move past my troubled times.  I have three copies of this book and two versions of the movie (the original release and the directors cut). The movie is amazing!! I highly recommend this book because it's just a "tuff" book haha. Read it than watch it!! Trust me you wont be disappointed

To Kill a Mockingbird
Read this in high school and fell in love with the characters. Makes you feel like a little kid again but touches on some deep issues.  The movie is amazing and made me realize I have the biggest crush on Gregory Peck the actor who played Atticus Finch in the movie.

Jane Eyre
Just read this book this past summer 2010 and I fell in love. It's a beautiful story. It's a classic and it was not what I expected at all. It's the definition of a Gothic Romance novel. Plus you can't help but fall in love with Mr. Rochester he's so freaking adorable and moody (sighs) hahaha I can't wait for the movie to come out this March the last version was made in 2006 and it was so good!

The Five People You Meet In Heaven
Such a  great read. It is short but oh so very touching.  A story that just touches your soul and makes you think about your loved ones you have lost in a way that makes you smile.

Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent
Just read this about a week ago and it was amazing. I love Broadway musicals and I adore Rent so I had to read this book. It was so touching and really throws you for a loop. I spoke a little about it in one of my past post and I simply can't express how much I enjoyed this book.  It is very sad but so passionate and heart felt.  If you have a passion for musicals and don't mind a little boy and boy action (the author is gay) READ IT!

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Okay so in this instance the book is way better than the movie! I hate to say it but it's true the movie is still fun to watch but this book is ten times better.  My 20 year old cousin Stanley read it and he loved it haha.  It has some great music refrences and is just a fun book to read.
