Top Ten Tuesday #8

Today's top ten Tuesday topic is a little different, but I really enjoyed it (but was scared of it at first). I will feature books that celebrate diversities such as LGBTQIA, people of color, people with debilitates or neurotypical characters. 

       The Green Mile and To Kill a Mockingbird (which I read quite recently) are both heart-breaking novels that deal with racial minorities. They both show the harsh reality of how different colored men were treated (and sometimes still are) despite their innocence and good hearts. The Green Mile, in particular, is a book that will dry out your eyes.
      Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a book that, I admit, I haven't read. But I really want to and as far as a I am concerned it deals with people with different sexual orientation. The same goes for The Line of Beauty which is a great book that I read at university. It is about a twenty-something boy living in London during the 80s, struggling with drugs, money and finding himself and his sexual preferences. 
      The Perks of Being a Wallflower is probably a book most of you have read so I won't spend much time explaining myself. It really is one of my favorites and surprisingly, the film was brilliant as well.
      The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Blueeyed boy are both extraordinary novels written in first person, but not in quite the usual way. The first one, is written from the perspective of a boy with the Asperger's syndrome. We see his struggles and fears, most of which we can't comprehend because of his disorder. The latter, is mostly written in the form of  blog posts (how convenient) and it deals with a boy's loneliness and attempts to escape who he truly is. The plot twist at the end is crazy, and I highly recommend giving it a go as most people haven't heard of it.
      The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in another one my favorite. Lisabeth Salander, one of the main characters, is a misunderstood genius with some authority issues. She even seems a little autistic but, in fact, all of her problems come from a troubled and very dark past.
     Divergent is a novel everyone has read, and, I reckon, everyone has put in their list today? For obvious reasons, it was the first one that came to my mind. See, Tris is "different", she is Divergent and therefore destined to rebel and then help people. 

Make sure you post your own lists so I can check them out and tell me what you think of those novels.
