Today's topic is Top Ten Books about Friendship. Note that some the following books may not be primarily about friendship - but I chose them for the awesomeness of the friendships within them, if that makes sense. This is technically more like my top ten friendships within literature.
1. Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Sam and Frodo - the greatest bromance in literature. :-)
2. Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. A touching friendship between a man at the end of his life, and a man trying to add meaning to his. (It made me cry.)
3. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I love the closeness of Lizzie's and Jane's friendship.
4. Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. Watson and Holmes are up there for best bromance with Frodo and Sam... Do you realize how much Watson and Holmes need each other? They depend on each other so much, though neither realizes it - or if he does, won't admit it.
5. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. This is the ultimate friendship book between sisters (and Laurie, of course).
Sorry, only five today. (You may remember my excuse.)
What are your favorite books about friendship?

ReplyDeleteBut of course! How could I forget that one? (I also realized that I had forgotten Harry Potter... Whoops!)
DeleteGreat list! The Harry Potter series and A Separate Peace are two of my favorite books about friendship. Here are the other ones I love in my top ten list: http://hardcoversandheroines.com/2014/05/20/top-ten-books-about-friendship/
ReplyDeleteAh yes, A Seperate Peace! How'd I forget that one? I even wrote a post on it! :)
