Not including short story collections, poetry collections, anthologies, etc.

For me, I believe it’s Oroonoko by Aphra Behn because it was on the syllabus for three different classes that I took in college. Other than that, the most I’ve read a single book is twice, and that was Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon. I’ve read Dracula 1.5 times. Didn’t finish it the second time around.

    YES to Watership Down! Had to read it for English class and almost put it down for the sparknote shortcut. So happy I finished it. My first lit high. The first assigned book that felt like a beautiful journey and not homework.

    Grateful for that English teacher that kept encouraging us all to wander outside the comfort zone and start the adventure but also knowing when it isn’t serving you.
