Nine Stories

J.D. Salinger
“A Perfect Day for Bananafish” is one of my favorites. I just like the coolness of Muriel, and the scene with Seymour playing with the little girl by the ocean. Even though it's morbid, I like the end too.

Victory

Joseph Conrad
Supposedly one of Joan Didion’s favorite books, the female character in it is an ultimate badass! It's so modern even though it was published in 1915.

The Marriage Plot

Jeffrey Eugenides
This just really resonated with me, and college atmosphere is pretty spot on with the growing pains of being in your early 20s.

Middlesex

Jeffrey Eugenides
A real epic! It's so vast and beautifully written and unlike anything I've ever read before. (I really just love every Jeffery Eugenides book.)

The Sea, the Sea

Iris Murdoch
For some reason this book always stayed with me. I read it at too young of an age and didn't really relate to it then, but still couldn't put it down—every now and again I get a sort of déjà vu feeling that reminds of a certain passage from the book.

Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain
This was the book that got me into reading. I love hearing stories about the punk scene.

The Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western

Richard Brautigan
Far out and weird. I like his word choices, they feel really vivid or somewhat photographic and cool.
