Memorable Books that Start with the Letter “O”:
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
- This is by far one of my favorite memoirs, and writing craft books. I first found the book on a whim at the library. I loved it so much, I knew I needed my own copy. This book is staying on my bookshelf forever.
- This was a hard book to read and digest in high school, but it was definitely magical.
- I love this book. I read it when I was younger. Then, I re-read it, and fell in love with it. The movie adaptation (1983) is also quite good.
- This was a whole unit in one of my high school English classes. I’d originally learned part of the story from Wishbone.
Books I’d Love to Read Starting with the Letter “O”:
- I enjoyed reading Steinbeck in my American Literature class in college. We didn’t read this one then, but I tried after the class ended. I failed. I want to try again, however.
- I became fascinated with Jack Kerouac, and the other Beat Generation poets, while studying history in high school.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
- I first learned about this book from Sesame Street! They did a “Monsterpiece Theatre” segment where they were discussing classic literature. A number 1 flew over a cuckoo’s nest.
- I really should read this book. The movie adaptation (1980) is fabulous.
- I learned about this book recently from Charis Rae’s excellent review!

Anything from Mr. King, Sir King, is my favorite. He is the Elvis of the literary world.

Thanks, Tim!
YESSSSS! ❤ ❤ ❤
I want to read “On Writing” so much!!! I ❤ Stephen King in ways I can't even begin to describe.
"Of Mice & Men" is a tough read. It's not the prose, so much, as the story, IMO.
I'd like to re-read "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" one day, but I think my TBR list is already daunting enough to add re-reads. LOL
On Writing is one of the best books you will read. I know it.
Appreciate the feedback and opinions! You are awesome!
You know, I think I actually have “On Writing” for Kindle. I’ve got several hundred (thousand?) Kindle books on an external hard-drive.
But, I’m such a purist sometimes! I almost forget I have a Kindle. LOL
Aww, thanks sweetie! You are awesome as well!!! ❤
I feel you. I forget I have the Kindle app.
Are you a “real book” purist too? LOL (Booooookkkkk smeeeeelllll! 🤓 )
Yes. Definitely.
👍
I’ve read The Outsiders countless times and love it too!
Yes!
