It's a beautiful book, but it's also tragic.<br /><br />I also agree that books can teach you a lot about life. Maybe if we could live our lives the way we read books...well...I think we'd enjoy the experience a bit more.<br /><br />Awesome post, Susan!Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460499521258233334.post-38241664292086245702011-02-04T14:01:33.931-05:002011-02-04T14:01:33.931-05:00AWESOME POST!

I read a LOT of books, but to me, a book is like a security blanket, if I don't have one in my hands, I feel lost. <br /><br />Thirteen Reasons Why was a hard book for me to put down. I hate reading books that make me cry, but yet those are the books that NEED to be read. The other book that did me in too was, The Diary of Ann Frank. I know it probably does with everyone, but I recently read it, and it will forever be in my head and my heart. <br /><br />I think these types of books help you talk about things that you normally wouldn't feel comfortable talking about, but once you read it, you realize you aren't the only one feeling that way. Willow and Dirty Little Secret were two other doozies for me. <br /><br />Ok, before I continue to go on and on, thank you for posting this!

It's especially awesome when my whole family can enjoy it together.<br /><br />Allison, I'm actually listening to Wintergirls right now and I wondered how it would resonate with those who dealt with an eating disorder. It's certainly been moving and educational for me.Andyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560015576425870541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460499521258233334.post-72834215171454604252011-02-04T12:19:18.303-05:002011-02-04T12:19:18.303-05:00=)=)NeuroHormonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252291452051633881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460499521258233334.post-3438851651104624922011-02-04T12:18:35.891-05:002011-02-04T12:18:35.891-05:00I think there are book that are meant to be apprec...I think there are book that are meant to be appreciated as much as enjoyed. Like Speak and Wintergirls. As somone who has had an eating disorder I don't know that I "enjoyed" Wintergirls that much, but it really resonated with me. It's incredible to read a character experiencing the same internal monsters and thought processes as me. It's nice not to feel alone.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.com
