books that have moved you

[onelife]

hello to all. i came across this site after googling "bible-dips", which i read about in the book, running with scissors. i have read most of the "Whatchya readin'?" thread, and i'd like to start one of my own.

here are some of the books that have moved me, this year, but please feel free to add those that have moved you at any time. i'll probably add some more of my own. thanks for participating.

1) the usual rules, by joyce maynard

2) the girls, by lori lansens

3) the glass castle, by jeannette walls
