Stories I Have Enjoyed
2 years ago
The following also features comments on the stories so could contain spoilers.
=FAVORITES=
> 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne - May have contributed to how I frame conflict and grew my interest in the undersea world.
> Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne - Had me thinking about moving to Iceland due to the library policy depicted in the narrative.
> Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle - My favorite Sherlock Holmes story and it mostly features Watson.
> War of the Worlds by H.G. Welles - I read it in my senior year of High School in Chemistry class as I had little work to do and upon finishing such went to reading it as I enjoyed the 1953 film. I enjoyed the book even more.
=OTHERS=
> Othello by William Shakespeare - A play I had the delight of taking part in though the audience was my class mates. It got me recognized for my acting talent and eventually landed me a role in the only school play I took part in. So it's got a fond memory associated with it.
> The Crucible - May have got a bit more into this one after my father relayed our own family's connection to the events. I have a recollection that my English teacher wasn't thrilled that my favorite character was John Proctor.
> The Red Headed League by Arthur Conan Doyle - My second favorite Sherlock Holmes story largely as Jabez Wilson is the client I most remember and perhaps it is because of his character that I became invested in the case.
> The Scarlet Letter - Was required reading in High School but I remember liking it.
> The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare - Another play though I didn't act in this one physically but with my voice lent to Brutus for a reading of it in class. Brutus continues to be my favorite character from this piece.
-Books of the Bible-
Genesis - My favorite book of the bible. While I'm distant from the faith now I still remember that it is my favorite as it 'explains why humanity suffers and sets the stage for the second Adam through which we shall receive salvation'. To me it served as a foundational stone to my resolve in the faith and key to my understanding of scripture.
Leviticus - Read while writing a personal study paper on biblical law, a project I enjoyed.
-ALMOST FORGOTTEN-
> ??? - In high school I read every, at least every published and available, book in a series that featured a female protagonist who was a magical bard. Despite recalling that I read it with great investment and talked excitedly about it the name of the work and characters now eludes me. I recall one particular moment where someone tried to kill the protagonist but the details are sketchy. I do think they where in a room at the time. I'm mentioning it here in the off chance that someone my have an idea of what I'm vaguely recalling.

Verne, Doyle, and Welles all do their tags normally like most writers.
And they use old style paragraph formatting like I do. Paragraphs indented, so aye. Paying attention to what you read goes a long way.
