"Growing up, I'd highlight the name of every movie in here I'd see, and read the synopses of the ones I was too chicken shit to actually sit through."

A well written and harrowing tale of growing up in a cult. It left me rattled at the cult similarities with my Jehovah's Witness upbringing. Natacha's strength and resilience is inspiring.

"I debated between Cervantes’ ‘Don Quijote’ and ‘Martín Fierro,’ because they both are great classic epic stories in the Spanish language, but ended up choosing José Hernández’s great poetic work because of my early connection with it as a child growing up in Argentina."

Old (now) but gold
Always funny to me. Maybe it's because it was one of my favorite movies growing up. Quoted it a lot at one job.

"This book had such an impact on me and my brothers growing up. Stevenson's adventuresome storytelling crafts scenes that are entirely filmic and he weaves captivating tales that depict action so directly."
