Reddit mentions of 11/22/63: A Novel

11/22/63

1. I'd definitely choose to spend my day picking my nose through every single conversation. I work with kids so they'd think it was HILARIOUS! Also, I could preface every single interaction with "It was either this or sand in my underwear and a pebble in my shoe".
   
2. No shoes, because shoes are the worst!
   
3. I don't really care all that much about apps... but I like the FalconPRO app for Twitter. It's pretty HSLD.
   
4. Macaroni and cheese :)
   
5. That when they were wearing shoes/boots and socks and driving, the bottoms of their feet would itch.
   
6. Hawaii. I would like to go because my best friend's hubby is stationed out there, so we would have a place to crash. I imagine it's very sunburn-y out there (I am a pasty, pasty lady). And gloriously warm and sunny. Really, I imagine it is the opposite of where I am now.
   
7. Person who can jam the most rusty nails through their hands (must provide pics for proof!) will win a wishlist item of my choosing <$5!!
   
8. There are number of land reserves that have pretty remote areas. You could build yourself a pretty solid camp and no one would notice. It's happened before here in Maine.
   
9. My dog and I would perform a duet where I bark "Jingle Bells" and she howls at me.
   
10. This is one of the best works of non-fiction I have ever read. My husband just finished this and absolutely loved it. He described it as fantastical historical fiction.
    
11. As a summer camp director, I am a legally bound mandated reporter. What that means is that if I suspect a child has been abused or neglected at home, I have to report that to the state. It is my least favorite part of my job.
    
12. Ah crap, you caught me with Pokemon cards. In my defense - I was bringing them in to give away, since I haven't touched them since 1998. (We don't allow Pokemon cards, or any other trading/gaming cards at after care or camp for a number of reasons. Not just because kids lose them or they make trades they regret, but because we do have kids whose families can't afford them and it makes those kids feel like shit.)
    
13. Did you go to summer camp as a kid? If you did - what's your favorite camp song? If not - what's your favorite silly song from your childhood?
    
14. The sound of someone forcefully dragging a knife across a plate.
    
15. That look my dog gives me that lets me know she loves me unconditionally <3
    
16. "No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip, she is spherical, like a globe, I could find out countries in her". Because COME ON! it is totally the original yo' momma is so fat joke.
    
17. Calamity Jane, Nefertiti, Captain Jack
    
18. In the kitchen at work, preparing snack for the middle schoolers.
    
19. I was a deviled egg. I wore a white t-shirt, taped a yellow construction paper oval to my tummy, and had devils horns/pitchfork/tail.
    
20. I sure did! No one I voted for won, but that wasn't the point.

I'd say get in at least a few young adult fiction, as they're full of saccharine and angst ridden metaphor:

• The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

• Looking For Alaska

A few historical fictions:

• Wolf Hall

• Memoirs Of A Geisha

Comedy:

• The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

• Good Omens

Stephen king (just because he's a favorite)

• 11/22/63

• IT

And finally, some objectively "bad" books, to learn what not to do.

• Wild Animus: A Novel

• The Da Vinci Code

• Moon People


All of these books are personal favorites for one reason or another, and some may fit into multiple categories (see: looking for Alaska under YA fiction and "bad,").

That said, this should at least keep you busy for a bit.

Happy reading, and good luck on your novel!

I'm not sure how you feel about Stephen King, but 11/22/63 (http://smile.amazon.com/11-22-63-Stephen-King-ebook/dp/B004Q7CIFI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418074012&sr=8-1&keywords=11+23+63+stephen+king) is a pretty good combo between history and (sort-of) science. I listened to this as an audiobook, and really loved it!

Stephen King, 11/22/63 (that is the name of the book), is a Kingesque fictionalized account about a man who could travel back in time to Dallas. It is not non-fiction, of course, but it is highly researched and a very good read. http://smile.amazon.com/11-22-63-Stephen-King-ebook/dp/B004Q7CIFI/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1412083665&sr=1-6&keywords=stephen+king

This is an undercover deal, and an awesome one at that!
