Write a personal narrative exploring your relationship with your favorite book or piece of art. What do you love about it, and why? What did you experience when you first read or saw it? How has the piece changed for you as you have either reread it or looked at it again and again over time?

This exercise might make you think more deeply about something you have read, how it has affected you, and what it might mean to other readers. Perhaps you will decide to turn part of your personal narrative into a book review, or write a book review of this favorite book as well. If you do, consider submitting it to our blogging and book review categories, via the Submit button!
