Feature & Follow Friday! (#5)

*Fun blog hop feature hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read*

Q: What book do you think everyone should read? If you could gift the entire population with one book?



It's hard to pick just one because not everyone reads the same genre as everyone else but a book that has always stuck with me and one that is a personal favorite that I'd gift to many people despite if it's there reading preference would probably be The Odyssey by Homer. Yes it's a epic poem but it's a fantastic read with soo many different elements weaved into it. It contains mythology, action-adventure, romance, and greek history. The story is told in such a way that many people can interpret things differently and that's really what I love about it. Some other books I'd gift would be The Princess Bride, and To Kill A Mocking Bird which are also extraordinary books for numerous reasons.

    I have started The Odyssey, but not finished it. It is very patiently waiting for me to get back to it on my kindle, though :)
