if I ever have the misfortune of getting knocked up
you know I'm not fond of kids.
they're creepy.
you know I don't want kids, right?
ew @ the whole pregnancy/birth thing.
seriously.
BUT.
if I ever make that mistake,
there's a list of books I want my would-be offspring to enjoy.
the only thing I've got to say about this is,
I spend significant amounts of time on r/books.
so anyway.
the list.
It's pretty short atm, and do keep in mind it's been years since I've read most of these , but they made a distinct impression on me.
I imagine I'll come back to this, the more that I read.
but this is stuff I want to read to my child more than once, ya know?
anyhow.
the list.
seriously this time.
in order that they've occurred to me:
The Once and Future King
Ender's Game
Stranger in a Strange Land
Rumble Fish
Lord of the Flies
The Left Hand of Darkness
The Fountainhead
The Giving Tree
I'm sure I'll add to this eventually,
and I promise I am not suddenly wanting kids.
think of it more as a "tinafish awesomesauce recommends" list.
though if I'm recommending.... seriously go read stranger in a strange land!
