Aw, Tom Robbins. Wild and funny and magical. His work spoke to me so much as a college student.

Moving on to the eighties - I loved this book in middle school!

Okay GenX friends, I present to you the book that unites us all - our holy writ. I read this the summer after 8th grade while babysitting kids aged 2, 6, and 8 full time for $30 a week. Where were you when you read this one?

Sixth grade. Learning how to sew in 4-H. Reading THIS.

We all remember this movie, but this is one of those cases where the film did not do the book justice. This novel is a potent examination of obsessive love - and this author is so underrated. I've read. almost all of his novels.

Everyone knows the film, but the book is so beautiful and heart-breaking too.

I don't know anyone who has read this. But this book haunts me!

An all-time favorite of mine. (Another one pilfered from my mom's shelves.) I can't go to the beach without thinking about the "Under Toad." The movie is a rare, perfect adaptation, too.

Mrs. Hazelhurst, the children's librarian at my hometown library, gave me this book to read when I was about nine years old. I have carried this story with me for almost fifty years.

From the queen. (Just re-read this one for the first time in 30 years.)

I can't begin to explain how special this book was to me growing up. I first read it in those days when imaginative play was starting to lose its magic for me, and reading it felt like holding on, just a little bit longer, to my childhood.

I feel like as a tween/young teen we didn't have as many YA options as kids do now. So we just read whatever we could find on our parents' shelves, right? And I found @stephenking.bsky.social.

In the eighth grade, I took this from my mom's bookshelf and read it at school during SSR (Sustained Silent Reading). Any of you other Gen X babies get ahold of this one wayyyy too young??

Who remembers these books from the 1970s?? I loved Serendipity and The Muffin Muncher.

This book was MAGIC to me as a kid.

I read this one along with The Handmaid's Tale in a college sociology class. Might be time for a revisit.

This book about a father and son who poach pheasants is one of my favorite Roald Dahl books.

One of the universal experiences of women my age is the clandestine reading of this book - which got passed around among girls and devoured in secret. Oh Ms. Blume, you taught us all so much. Who gave you your copy??
#84 (1970s) #books #booksky #classics #readingcommunity #365books #genxreader
I read this book at least 100 times.

Reading = empathy. I remember thinking so much about the effect of my words on other people after reading this book as a kid.

I LOVED Lois Duncan books as a kid. And this one was my favorite.
#81 (1970s) #books #booksky #classics #readingcommunity #365books
Another Norma Klein book. I adored her almost as much as Judy Blume.

True story: I read this book when I was eight or nine and decided to become a writer. I typed a forty-page "novel" on my dad's old typewriter. I still have the manuscript.
