This week’s Top Ten Theme at The Broke and the Bookish is Top Ten Books that make you think. I love reading and I think all books (well, almost all) make you think. Getting together a list of ten books that made me think was to recall the books I thought about long after I read about them and about why/what/how in the book. There are more books that fit this category but I decided to stick with just the first ten :
- Lord of the Flies
- The Diary of a Young Girl
– Anne Frank - The Kite Runner
- The Book Thief
- Cutting for Stone
- Last Man in
Tower - To kill a Mockingbird
- Life of Pi
- The Alchemist
- The Mayor of Casterbridge
For Teaser Tuesdays at Should Be Reading:

Love that teaser! I'm left curious for more!
Thank you Freda! Love hearing from you always.. thanks for visiting again
You've got some great books on your Top Ten list! Of course Lord of the Flies should be on there, I forgot about that one. And I've been meaning to read Life of Pi for years it seems. Now that the movie is coming out, I'll really have to read it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm following you back 🙂
thank you, Lori.
