  Like everyone else, Crisis of Conscience -- Ray Franz

  Animal Farm - George Orwell

  1984 -- George Orwell (eerie similarities to JWs)

  Sophies World -- can't remember the name -- great book, after I read it, I ended up minoring in philosophy in college

  Aboke Girls -- about the LRA atrocities in Uganda (difficult to read)

  I love to read, these are just a few that pop to mind right off the bat.

  "Five go adventuring again" by Enid Blyton.

  It used to be Noddy, but I lost interest when Big Ears became too prominent.

  I was 8 years old, BTW.

  My first five non-JW books

  • Father's Days: A True Story of Incest by K. Brady
  • I know why the caged bird sings by Maya Angelou
  • If I should die before I wake by m Morris
  • Best Kept Secret: Sexual Abuse of Children by Florence Rush
  • Conspiracy of Silence: The Trauma of Incest by S Butler

  In these five books I realized I was being abused in my marriage and reliving my childhood. Although they are all about incest I knew I was reliving my past.

  It wasn't until about 10 years after I left the JWs that I read
