[Make-Your-Own Meme] Book/series everyone should read! For certain definitions of "everyone"

Hey it's a post from that ridiculous/amazing/this is the worst idea/this is the best idea Make-Your-Own Meme "blog every day of November" thing!

The original post explaining the project is here. Please feel free to continue adding topics/questions on the LJ or DW versions. If something comes up in any of these posts that you'd like to hear more about, please feel free to just make it into its own topic! HERE GOES NOTHING. YOU (SORT OF) ASKED FOR IT.

shanaqui: I am predictable! What book/series do you think everyone should read? (For whatever definition of everyone you like: your flist, the whole world, people who say [x]...) (here)



OF COURSE THE FIRST DAY HAS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT PROMPTS.

Guys! Disclaimer! I am REALLY TERRIBLE at favourites! Like, I so am. I tend to enjoy things on like — different dimensions! different reasons! I CAN'T PICK ONE THING EVER. Seriously shanaqui YOU HAVE DEFEATED ME. Game over.


... but I will try.

( I SUCK AT FAVOURITES )

( Everyone who... has an interest in history, journalism, Russia, or where I come from personally should read: )

( Everyone who... wants to discuss pivotal cultural myths with me (or just likes Arthurian mythology and a spankin' good read) should read: )

( Everyone who... loves a good fairytale retelling should read, compare, contrast, and tell me about: )

( Everyone who... wants to stick it to assholes who think childrens' books and/or fantasy can't be  )

( Everyone who... wants something heartbreaking and hilarious and not all about white people and also bonus cartoons should read: )

( Everyone who... says they don't like/can't get into scifi (or just wants to get their feet wet) OR loves a fun mystery OR WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND should read: )

( Everyone who... wants to discuss religion in fantasy worldbuilding OR wants to read about older protagonists: )

( Everyone who... has never really tried manga but is kind of curious OR likes some good non-Victorian-based steampunk OR wants a variety of strong female characters should read )

( Everyone who... wonders why I think I am a terribly selfish person should read: )

So that is that. I have lots and lots of other books I would love to share, some I've loved more than the ones listed here, some less. But this is probably enough to be going on with =)


(And didn't I tell you? Everything is about me. I am the alpha and omega of this post. Oh yes.)
