Into Sunlight (S.E. Hinton)
by Scott Glass
$175
I always liked reading, but this is the book that made me a reader. I was 12, and I had never before read a book that felt so honest and exciting. Here were teenagers drinking, smoking, fighting, screwing. So this is what stories can do, I realized. No matter how many books I've read since, it still has my favorite opening of all time. Acrylic and ink on paper. Framed.
