With the millions of thoughts swimming through the average reader's head every day, in my opinion it's quite meaningful when one particular book springs frequently to mind.

I challenge anyone who scoffs at graphic novels as literature to experience Fun Home, and challenge those who harbour no such notions to still do the same.
