1. Holes, Louis Sachar– First book that I truly enjoyed reading. And it made a great transformation into a motion picture.
2. Eragon, Chris Paolini – My favorite fantasy book
3. Goodnight Moon – My parents would read this to me at night when I was little
4. Any Harry Potter book, J.K. Rowling – the most entertaining series I’ve ever read
5. Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer – Great series I read when I was younger; great robbery and spy stories. (when I googled how to spell his name, I found that there are new books in the series and I’m pumped to read em!)
6. Supernaturals, Eoin Colfer – Greatest futuristic book! It had such a cool underground guerilla group in it.
7. The White Fox Chronicles, Gary Paulsen – Had to have read this book a million times. By far the most graphic and suspenseful book I read when I was young.
8. Moneyball, Michael Lewis – Opened my eyes to a new side of baseball.
9. Ball Four, Jim Bouton – Gave me the behind the scenes for the majors.

Eoin Colfer is amazing. He beats all Harry Potter by miles.
ReplyDeleteAlex, I'm glad you included a book you remember being read to you. Likewise that one of your items is one you're not only read but often re-read. And your two baseball titles are both on my baseball list as well (although my baseball list includes both fiction and non-fiction). Thanks for a thoughtful and interesting list.
