Ok. Here's what I've got:
1984, George Orwell
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
Black Beauty, Anna Sewell
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
Bridget Jones's Diary, Helen Fielding
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl
A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
The God Of Small Things, Arundhati Roy
Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
The Grapes Of Wrath, John Steinbeck
* The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald
* The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Douglas Adams
The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, CS Lewis
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
The Lord Of The Rings, JRR Tolkien
Matilda, Roald Dahl
On The Road, Jack Kerouac
The Stand, Stephen King
To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Winnie-the-Pooh, AA Milne
* My two all-time favorite books.
The weird part is, I read. A lot. I mean loads. But, apparently, not much from this list. Oh well.
I had about 35, which is more, but still feels inadquate in a way. Good to see that A. A. Milne book in there, as well as the Wind In The Willows (their hippie neighbours). And the great Douglas Adams of course.
Believe me, when you work in a library, the last thing you want to look at when you come home is a book. And that's a great pity, because I've always loved reading.
I was going to do this list, too. Then I saw Tess of the D'Ubervilles mentioned and had to run off and purge any memory of it from my system.
Heh. I'm waiting for the "Flavors of Gum I've Chewed" list to come about. I'll take you all on that one.
I think I topped out at seven, only two of which I didn't read for school.
But HITCHHIKER'S gets a nod for favorite book of all time. I've read it a bunch of times now. I'm about due again. Maybe I'll wait till we get closer to the movie. Then I can read the book, listen to the audio drama, watch the BBC series on DVD, and finally see the movie.
