My day 1: As a kid, A Wrinkle in Time felt more grown up in its approach to multi-world fantasy books, it felt …scientific.
As a teacher recommending it the advanced and interesting vocabulary is unusual.

Day 2: Both my parents loved this book. I was raised very much within the framework of one of his ideas: that we must "follow our bliss" and passionately engage in doing what we love and the rest of life will flow from that.

Day 14: This was one of my first post-apocalyptic read, and I was fascinated by the idea that one brilliant scientist could destroy (and save?) the world in one go. Almost an environmental science fight club.

Day 3: I actually don’t know why I love Mansfield Park so much. Jane Austin is a favorite but Fanny is almost priggish. I think I love her powers of observation and moral compass.

I read this in a class on colonial & post-colonial literature to mark a line between stories of colonial superiority and stories by indigenous people. It offers a nuanced critique of colonialism from a British writer.

Day 6: is important because it symbolizes my own tenacity to learn. I was a poor reader in school. In 6th grade we moved to the forest, devoid of distractions I picked up this book and slogged my way through, from there I kept on reading.

What can I say? Except maybe to quote some Vogon poetry - but this is a civilized community, so I won't. I rate this work 42 out of 5.

Day 13: I discovered her work in Women’s Lit in college. The grotesque characters, the violent situations, and her tragic humor give her work the unique quality of feeling at once authentic, outlandish and spiritual.

My day 17: I read this book as a high schooler. A Native American man struggles with his identity after he comes home from WWII. It was my first experience with a non-linear narrative, which, in this story, I loved.

My day 16: I saw this comedy with a friend at Tufts university. The absurd situations were a riot and the greater message around the hypocrisy of those that use religion as a guise for their own gain was meaningful.

15:The book’s raw violence and visceral decay echo a very real lived experience for the most vulnerable in rural America. Some of my students come from that same world and Ree echoes their tenacious grip on survival.

Day 12: I chose this play because of its haunting and raw look at a family unable to escape their deep guilt and trauma. I would love to see a live production. The movie, with Katherine Hepburn is excellent.

My day 10: I love Murakami but Kafka on the Shore is my favorite because it's so captivating and complex. It explores deep themes of identity, memory, loneliness. Plus …a guy that can talk to cats—got to love that.
