Uncategorized Lucy Knisley p2 Lucy Knisley mentions many of her favorite novels, including young adult titles, and comics artists... READERSVOICE.COM: In one interview you said you read more prose than comics these days. What are some of the books you have really liked over the years, fiction or non-fiction, young adult or not? LUCY KNISLEY: I read a lot of young adult books. A friend of mine from high school with similar reading tastes owns and manages a little bookshop in my hometown, and I visit every couple of months and she loads me down with a nice stack of recommendations. She makes me feel like such a trendspotter -- I read The Hunger Games ages ago, on her recommendation. More recently, I really loved The Fault in Our Stars , by John Green, and Wildwood , by Colin Meloy (though neither of those are really lesser known). My dad also manages a little bookshop in Chelsea, where a lot of lovely authors and artists come to premiere their books, so I get some nice picks from that. I recently loved Leanne Shapton's Swimming Studies , Maira Kalman's Why We Broke Up , and The Lover's Dictionary , by David Levithan. I read and love anything that Margaret Atwood comes out with, though Oryx and Crake is my favorite. I'm a sucker for dystopian first-person narratives. I loved The Book Thief , by Marcus Suzak, and adore-adore-adore the Revolting Youth series, by C.D. Payne. A lot of my favorite books
