books i heart (or, how i spent my friday morning when i should have been working)

So, this has made the rounds, but it looks like a worth-while endeavor, so I want to do it too. A part of me fears what this list might reveal about me, but a larger part doesn't really care because my mom told me I'm smart and I believe her. (See Steve's or Paul's lists if you want something with a bit more literary merit/depth/masculine influence.)

• a book that made you cry: Where the Red Fern Grows (Rawls)
