Five Books that Inspire Me
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
“It changed my life. A timely story, beautifully written. Harper Lee captured Scout, Jem, and Dill’s voices perfectly. The setting speaks to me. The depth of the characters floor me. It’s perfect in every way. I often listen to the soundtrack of the movie when I write.”
AWAY BY AMY BLOOM
“And everything else written by Amy Bloom. I am humbled and awed when I read her. She’s a writer’s writer.”
THE LOVELY BONES BY ALICE SEBOLD
“Alice Sebold’s masterpiece. I love her courage, her ability to reach into the depths of her soul and capture the essence of a character.”
THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHTTIME BY MARK HADDON
“Absolutely adored this novel of a young man with autism attempting to solve a crime. Mark Haddon is a genius.”
A THREE DOG LIFE BY ABIGAIL THOMAS
“Abigail Thomas’s profoundly beautiful and darkly comic memoir remains to this day, my favorite. Exquisite writing.”
