Message: [QUOTE="PurpleShoes, post: 167940, member: 216169"] My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. As a kid, I was so disinterested in reading, especially because all the books we read were written in extremely antiquated dialect, only about suffering, or just extremely blunt in their symbolism. Then, one day we began reading MSK and my mind was blown! The characters were like me and my peers. They had anxieties, personality flaws, and pointed senses of humor! The book took place in my world, it felt so grounded and relatable and empathetic! One of the main characters even carried around a discman! That experience opened my eyes to books being more than old sad people that you ought to feel really bad for because it's the intellectual thing to do. [/QUOTE]
