HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY!

Fact: One of the cruelest questions a person can ask a book lover is to name their favorite book.

Rather than compiling my definitive “Favorite Books Ever”, here are some of the books I love.

• Follow the River by James Alexander Thom
• The Puffin Book of Salt-Sea Verse compiled by Charles Causley
• Mother of God by Paul Rosolie
• The Ware tetralogy by Rudy Rucker
• Dororo by Osamu Tezuka
• Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe
• Marly: ou la neige en été by Emmanuel Lantam
• Dinotopia by James Gurney

What about you? What books do you like? Do we share any of the same favorite books?

I tend to alternate between reading text-only books and picture-heavy books, fiction and non-fiction, short and expansive, trades and children’s books, etc. This seems to help me retain more of what I read, and keeps me actively thinking and taking in stories in different ways.

I prefer physical, printed books to audiobooks and screens, and I love seeing the world through another’s eyes.

Here’s to more reading time for us all!
