Bucket (Book) List

Recently came across a list of 100 books to read in a lifetime.
Got me thinking - what books would be on your bucket list. What books would you recommend as a MUST read —?! A life and death matter :hehe:

My list was slightly morbid - nothing comical on it.

  • The Fault in Our Stars
  • Me Before You
  • Harry Potter Series
  • The Kitchen House

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Not this again.

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Whats your problem with that hain hain hain bolo?!

Re: Bucket (Book) List

You haven’t read the HP series yet? :hayaa:

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Oh ho these are some that I'd recommend others to read. Heh

Re: Bucket (Book) List

These are books you feel everyone should read? Or books you want to make sure you read before you die? I assumed the latter.

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Ok so books I think everyone should read are:

Anything by Astrid Lindgren. Legendary Swedish children books author. Read especially Pippi Longstocking to your daughters! All I can say that everything this woman has written has been amazing! You cannot go wrong.

Harry Potter - J.K Rowling. A must read series and gift this series to your children when they're old enough to read thicker books. It's the most amazing series!

Emma - Jane Austen

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte

Gone with the wind - Margaret Mitchell

Oh The Places You'll Go - Dr Seuss. One of the most uplifting children books ever.

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Newer books:

The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

Divergent - Veronica Roth

Wonder - R.J Palacio (this book ... you just have to read it! Today! Right now!!!!)

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Oh and how could I forget The Diary of a Wimpy Kid!!! :wub:

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Divergent? Really?

Re: Bucket (Book) List

I think I'm one of those crazy Divergent fangirls

Re: Bucket (Book) List

:smh:

I read the first 10 pages. I wanted to chund that girl.

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Tris was not that easy to like. But I think you’ll like Four :wub: Give it another chance

Re: Bucket (Book) List

But will my life be any less worthy if I dont read it. :hoonh:

Re: Bucket (Book) List

^ probably not :D But whatever you do. Just don't watch the movie without having read the book!

Re: Bucket (Book) List

:rotfl: you know me to well; I was literally planning to go this weekend.

Re: Bucket (Book) List

Muniya, Me Before You and Kitchen House as must-reads?!?! Decent books, sure. But not that important, surely...?

Re: Bucket (Book) List

^^ Patha nahee, I really enjoyed them both. I feel like each gave me a view of a perspective that I'd not seen so clearly before.
The kitchen house - the charaters were so alive, I felt like there were actually ghosts and at the end of the book when I read the author's interview and she revealed how she came to writing the book everything made sense. I loved that everyone was gray - there was no super hero just good people helping each other survive.

Me before You -- same thing. It turned me on to classical music. I'm dying to go to a live concert. Everywhere I go I notice if the place is equipped for wheelchairs and I've literally come to thank my graces for the ability to move my limbs at will.

Each had a lasting effect on me.

Re: Bucket (Book) List

All books in the song of ice and fire series. Though the five books probably count as twenty five given how detailed they are.
