thank you Shivom for nominating me for the bucket book challenge or whatever they call it, i am going to keep this simple 1. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain (because it made me realize i needed a huck and i think it properly introduced me to the romance of having a best friend) 2. The Katy Carr Series, Susan m Coolidge (katy carr was a character i could really relate with during the onset of puberty and i hope i will grow up to be more like miss carr in the years to come) 3. My family and other animals, Gerald Durell ( because mr durell taught me that our conmpassion for any organism should not depend on our estimate of its intelligence) 4. The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, Friedrich Engels (for helping me modify my thinking and getting me closer to emotional independence) 5. Sandman by Neil Gaiman (it seemed like a trip when i read it) 6. Blankets, Craig Thompson (a very moving story, there is this rebellious girl with differently abled siblings etc, i was stupid when i read it) 7. City of Joy, Dominique lapierre (really opened my eyes to abject poverty in india and how one mans compassion and altruism made a difference ) 8. Blackest Night, DC comics (simply because it made me get over my existential crisis to a great extent) 9. Grant Morrissons Doom Patrol (quirky, clever and interesting throughout) 10. The Female Eunuch, germaine greere (a very fine view on feminism, inspired greatly from Marxism in my opinion) 11. Ice Haven, Daniel Clowes (do i even need to say why, its Daniel clowes !) 12. Famous Five Series (it made me start reading books and George fayne made me feel like a normal person) 13. J. Krishnamurti Krishnamurti On Education ( a remarkable book) 14. Tintin (because the world seemed fresh and adventurous then) i nominate Shubham Chattopadhyay Vaibhav Srivastav Johnny Swagger Angad Bagga, Ruhail Kaizer Saloni Dahake Vibhuti Dabrāl Nishchay Sharma Dennis Nobo Dto waste some minutes listing literature that has influenced them
