favorite books

• never let me go by kazuo ishiguro (for the wistful melancholy that i adore in writing, plus a hint of sci-fi)
• kafka on the shore by haruki murakami (superb dialogue, magical realism, coming of age)
• delirium by lauren oliver (i remember being super into it when i was 15, engaging writing, interesting premise)
• kitchen by banana yoshimoto (quiet, unassuming, and the beauty of her prose creeps up and hits you all at once)
• 1984 by george orwell (well, it's a classic. and the ending hit me)
• five people you meet in heaven by mitch albom (most enlightening, emotional healing & mind opening in life journey)
