The Road Less Traveled, M. Scott Peck
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, Ina May Gaskin*
A Language Older Than Words, Derrick Jensen
from vox's QotD today. there's been a lot of discussion of books around me lately. i think that's an indicator that i need to start doing some real reading again.
what are some of the books you've read that have been life changing or mind changing or just really, really enjoyable?
i'm a voracious reader so it's a bit shameful to admit that i haven't been doing any these past few months. i'm planning a trip to the library tomorrow, and i'd like to take a few suggestions with me. so please--have at it. fiction, non-fiction, any genre.
*i know ina may is a total bitch and i wouldn't want her near me as a midwife, but this book was really, really helpful to me in preparing to give birth.
