been tagged to the book list game a few times over the past few weeks, so here it is finally: The entire Little House On The Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder (I have a vague memory of the elementary school librarian telling my mom that they were not age appropriate when I was at the beginning of second grade and my mom not agreeing with her and I remember the feeling of awe I felt while imagining life in the big woods and traveling by covered wagon.) Eat Pray Love (sit everyday and smile from your liver) Red Rider Came Calling by Berkeley Breathed (guaranteed true!) The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien (been using it almost daily for years and years. my first copy fell apart from so much use so Im on my second copy now. sadly the new printer did not do as quality a job as the first.) Goodnight Moon (Goodnight cow jumping over the moon, goodnight light, and the red balloon) The Lorax and also The Five Hundred Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins by Dr Suess Where The Sidewalk Ends & A Light In The Attic by Shel Silverstein (first poem I ever memorized: I cannot go to school today... I have the measles and the mumps, a gash, a rash, and purple bumps... what? whats that? whats that you say? you say today is Saturday? goodbye, Im going out to play....) West with the Night by Beryl Markham -- “There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt. There is a certain silence that can emanate from a lifeless object as from a chair lately used, or from a piano with old dust upon its keys, or from anything that has answered to the need of a man, for pleasure or for work. This kind of silence can speak. Its voice may be melancholy, but it is not always so; for the chair may have been left by a laughing child or the last notes of the piano may have been raucous and gay. Whatever the mood or the circumstance, the essence of its quality may linger in the silence that follows. It is a soundless echo.” A Journey in Ladakh by Andrew Harvey The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd (book AND movie) Book Game: In your status, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way.
