I first read The Call of the Wild when I was about 12. One of my favorite books from chldhood along with Black Beauty.

I've read some YA novels that were better then some adult novels. I've got a few titles running around in my head that I could put on this list.

I may have to do this meme.

Running With Sissors....good book.
You should read the one his brother wrote: Look Me In The Eye: My life with asperger's by John Elder Robinson.
Also very good.

I've wondered about Burroughs' brother's book.

I'll admit, I had a knee jerk reaction to avoid it. I'll have to move it to my "maybe" list now.

(and I got to hear Burroughs read from Running with Scissors--he read the part about the prophetic poo--my friend and I laughed so hard we were weeping!)

I'm going to have to look for this Peppermint story. I'm very curious!

I've read a lot of these, especially the dog books. Others I've never heard of, like Jesus Land and Running With Scissors. I'll have to look those up too.

I had quite a few kids books on my list too, plus books that weren't meant for kids per se, but still influenced me as a kid.

Is it this Peppermint?

Are you trying to make me cry?

That's her all right.
