I don't think I could answer this question at all. I mean, I want to answer The Fountainhead, Kavalier and Clay or Garden of Eden. But that's only because something clicked in me reading those books. But since I don't really follow Ayn Rand's ideologies and I've never been to war or experienced Stonewall - I guess Garden of Eden? I think I am a little bit of both Catherine and David. The conflict of the story really isn't my life. But writing and also being a little crazy is. So.
There's a lovely book called Guys Like Girls Named Jenny. It's pretty much my life because I can't seem to understand the difference between a man who is trying to be my friend & a man who is trying to be more. Also, I just don't understand the whole Christian dating scene, & I focus way too much on it when I should be focused on God. :)
I have no choice in the matter. I was named after Jane Eyre and was thus doomed a) to love Victorian fiction, b) to fancy unsuitable Romantic types (until I saw sense and married the nice guy), c) to run away from it all when things get too difficult d) to have a madwoman in my attic (metaphorically speaking), and e) to find religious fanatics strangely compelling, especially if handsome and surrounded by adoring women.
what happen when you talk too fast (and too often) and force evolve English by combining words to abbreviate. Combreviations are dogs, bred to be likable, useful, and friendly, while most words come out of the natural selection of English. Sure, they may not be the fittest, but damn if everyone doesn't love them.

ReplyDeleteLaura - what's yours?
I'm totally the Bible. I'm filled with fun facts and most people only believe parts of what I say.
ReplyDeleteMy other option is The Bell Jar, because I live in NY and can't decide if I'm insane or if it's everyone around me...
