Probably The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time because it was the most interesting to me and I think it was the best done.
7.)
The Phantom Tollbooth - Norton JusterThis was a rediscovery for me; I haven't read this since I was nine or so. Still a great story and I think I got more out of it this time around.
8.)
The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I - Arthur Conan DoyleI was inspired to reread this after watching the movie - and it was worth it.
9.)
The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson BurnettI randomly picked this up last night after letting it rot on my shelf for a few years and I LOVED it.

1.)
Thought that this one was odd and somewhat tiring, but good.
2.)
I found this one to be rather heartbreaking and very well written.
3.) [image error] Life of Pi - Yann Martel
This book is overrated, though I'll admit I read the author's comments and they probably spoiled it for me more than anything in the actual book. Nice story, pretentious theme.
4.)
I usually don't like "on writing" books, but I loved this one and already want to reread it.
5.)
The pacing was off, which threw and bored me, but it WAS published nearly three centuries ago.
6.)
Alright. Loved the characters, but I couldn't take the "thing" seriously, which made it slightly less intense.
