Thoughtful Thursday...

What books have made you think?

Most books usually make me think. There are the what if's, what would I do's, and wouldn't that be cool thoughts that usually go through my mind. Jodi Picoult's books usually really make me think, whether it's about a child who is sexually abused, in Perfect Match http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perfect-Match-Jodi-Picoult/dp/0340897228, a teacher being accused of sexually abusing his students in Salem Falls http://www.amazon.co.uk/Salem-Falls-Jodi-Picoult/dp/034096278X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241102014&sr=1-1 or dealing with school shootings in Nineteen Minutes http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nineteen-Minutes-Jodi-Picoult/dp/0340935790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241102045&sr=1-1 Picoult always makes me think and feel.

Another book that made me think recently was My Not So Fairy Tale Life by Julie Wright http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Not-So-Fairy-Tale-Life-Julie-Wright/dp/1590384768/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241102112&sr=1-1 , which explores changing from pretty anti-Mormon to Mormon.

I like fiction books that deal with real life issues that challenge me to think, what would I do?

What about you? What makes you think?
