Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
I should have read these years ago. Phenomenal. I wish I’d bought the boxed set. Also, how great is the new Bloomsbury design?! No. 20 on my challenge. Everyone has read the first Harry Potter. And obviously, the movies are awesome.

If you: – watched the tv series – read the books – like quick-witted come backs – enjoy terrible karaoke – watch movies you should watch this movie.

Still Alice by Lisa Genova
Never have I read a narrative so terrifying. It is poignant, thoughtful, and distressingly believable. Alzheimer’s Disease has always been scary—now it may be my greatest fear. No. 2 on my challenge. I cannot wait to see this movie.

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
Unlike any ‘western’ I’ve ever read. It’s gritty, violent, relentless, and often utterly ridiculous. I liked it. No. 8 on my challenge. This is one of the first books I purchased when I moved to Vancouver. It’s about time I got around to reading it.

A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard
Her story is fascinating and horrifying, and her refusal to hate her captors is inspiring. And bat-shit-crazy—I would hate them so hard. No. 26 on my challenge. I wish it wasn’t.

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling
“When a beautiful actress is in a movie, executives wrack their brains to find some kind of flaw … She can’t be not perfect looking, because who would want to see that? A not-100-percent-perfect-looking-in-every-way female? You might as well film a dead squid decaying on a beach somewhere for two hours.”

Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls by David Sedaris
Hysterical. By far the best airport bookstore purchase I have ever made—I didn’t even mind when the mouth-breather in the middle seat started reading over my shoulder. No. 6 on my challenge. I’m glad I’ve finally discovered Sedaris.
