Books'll Get Their Hooks In

A list of titles that occur to me at the most surprising, [apparently] quotidian moments. Some were a big "whoa!" right away, others crept up and grip like a vine... _How Does a Poem Mean?_ while listening to good hip-hop, or _King Lear_ during a discussion about my mom's decline, or _The Giver_ when other parents talk about their child's uni prospects.
