Top Ten Books about Friendship

This should be a fun list!

  1. Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling- I think some of the greatest books about friendship written in my honest opinion. I'm not an obsessed fan about Harry Potter but there are several great points to them and this is one of them. 
  2. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien- Through thick and thin Frodo and Sam... You know what I mean. There's also Legolas and Gimli. The whole fellowship though is just a great picture of friendship. You know, I might take my above statement about the Harry Potter series back. I'm not sure. 
  3. Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery- Bosom friends! 
  4. The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis- I love Bree and Shasta and their fun and crazy friendship. This is my favorite of C.S. Lewis's novels. 
  5. Poroit series by Agatha Christie- Poroit and Captain Hastings are such a fun duo! I also like Poroit and Inspector Japp. :) 
  6. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak- I enjoy the friendships that Liesel has with Rudy and Max. 
  7. Redwall series by Brain Jacques- There are always fun and touching friendships in Jacques's books that I have always enjoyed. 
  8. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen- There are a lot of friendships I enjoy in this novel and they are all familial. Lizzy and her father is one of my favorite relationships/friendships in all of literature. I also love Lizzy and Jane's friendship. 
  9. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen- Fanny and Edmund's friendship is another great relationship and I appreciate that they ended up SPOILER getting married in the end. END SPOILER. The book shows a beautiful transition from friendship to marriage. In my opinion, friendship is a good start to entering into a romantic relationship. 
  10. Emma by Jane Austen- Knightley and Emma's friendship is another relationship that SPOILER resulted in marriage. END SPOILER. It is a lot like a brother-sister friendship, which I love.
What friendships do you enjoy in literature? I would have included more Austen but I don't want to completely override all of my lists with my obsessions so I just included my favorites. ;)

  4. I haven't read The Book Thief or Redwall, but ALL the rest are great friendships! I also love some of the other friendships from the Anne books - especially her college roommates.

    1. I would highly recommend the Redwall series! They were some of my favorite books as a child and I still continue to re-read them occasionally as an adult.

    2. I'm familiar with them - my dad and brother read them when I was a kid. They're not exactly my thing, but my 8 year old son LOVES Redwall. :)

  5. Great choices! Harry Potter was number one on my list too, they're my favourite books about friendship! LOTR is such an amazing pick as well, so many memorable friendships in that one. Nice picks :)
