Has anyone else read this book? It has a very strong theme that I think relates with HE  If you haven’t, You can read the sparknotes (what I did mostly, I never got to finish it except with sparknotes.)
It is about a community, that by some technology, has wiped all memories, good and bad, and almost all emotions from life. But one boy is chosen to be the ‘reciever of memories.’ He receives all memories from a man simply called the giver. He gives him memories, but they both decide that life with choice, emotions and color is better than what they have. So they embark on a plan to change the community.

I was so against what my teachers made me read in grade school, but this is one that stuck really strong in my mind. I loved the the message, and the cool metaphysical sci fi ‘what if’.
Totally wanna give it another read now that I can appreciate it more
I hear David Yates (Harry Potter director) is making this into a film soon… hope it does the book justice

This is one of my all time most fave books, and I DO believe I have it on my top book lists. It’s an incredible book, and as an adult, I have reread it over and over, and I can’t NOT love the book. I’ve quoted it before, even, lol, as I often say “Precision of language…”. This book will always remain tattoo’d on my mind and heart.
