I knew that when I started writing my blog, I wanted to write about books that I remembered loving from my childhood. I sat down and wrote out a list of every title that I remember having a significant impact, good or bad, on me. When I saw my daughter was reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, I thought, “Bingo! That’s what I’ll write about this week!”.

I have been having this nightmare since approximately 1984, or when I first read Pet Sematary by Stephen King. I stayed up all night and read it in one sitting. It is the only book (although not the only thing I’ve ever read) to give me nightmares and it has given me the nightmare that has stayed with me for the last 35 years.

I loved this book. In the spirit of full transparency, I should confess that I am a huge Gretchen Rubin fan. As I read this book, I couldn’t help but wonder if she’d been spying on me, though, because so much of what was in the book was so applicable to my daily life. Thanks for thinking of me, Gretchen!
