Top Ten Tuesday is an weekly meme created by the awesome people at The Broke and Bookish, who love lists as much as I do.
Top Ten Books That Make You Think (About The World, People, Life, etc.)
I think all books make you think in some way. Some books just make you think more, or about more serious topics.
Books that make you think about racial relations
1. A Time to Kill by John Grisham

7. Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Books that make you think about life
8. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
9. Looking for Alaska by John Green
10. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen chobosky
I totally agree with all your books that made you think about life! And I loved The Hatchett as a kid. So good. And My Side of the Mountain!!!!!!
I never read My side of the Mountain, but a hell yes to Hatchett!
Nice list! I’ve only read the Hunger Games, but I’ve heard of the rest and some are on my wish list! I love books that make you think!
My TTT
Me too!
Interesting choices, I couldn’t agree with you more about The Help. Can I mention the book that had me thinking about life in general? The 5 People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom is a wonderfully thought provoking book, if you haven’t read it, I can highly recommend it.
I haven’t read The 5 People You Meet in Heaven yet, but I’ve heard good things about it. It’s def a book I would like to read someday, thanks for the recommendation.
A Time To Kill, blew me away ages ago! I still sometimes think about it. Good choices!
I loved A Time to Kill. It’s one of my favorite Grisham books!
Nice list! Sad to say that I haven’t read any of them, so guess I need to catch up!
It’s ok! There are like a million books!
I loved To Kill A Mocking Bird! And I’ve been meaning to read The Perks of Being A Wallflower for YEARS!!! I thought I might try to read it during banned book week, but I’m so behind on my reading that I’m not sure I’ll get to it.
Just make sure you read it before you see the movie!
