Favorite(?) Books
Jul. 25th, 2008 07:45 pmThere's been a meme concerning 100 classic books, and Robin, indigo rose, and I decided it would be more fun to see other people's personal top 100 books. I also decided that descriptions or quotes would help people decide if they would like to read any themselves. (I mostly used quotes from the beginning of books to minimize spoilers.)
Then I was going to split my books into categories, and then if my readers knew better books in any of the categories, they would tell me, and then I would go read those books.
Upon further reflection, it is clear that I am not well-enough-read to put together any reasonable sort of list of classic books. So I decided instead to list all the books I can remember that I am absolutely positive that I have read from cover to cover more than once. (It's less than 100, even including nonfiction.) I may like them because they are good, and even because they are the kind of good that could make them classic. Or maybe I am just some kind of weirdo. Some of these are embarrassing.
Also, please excuse any typos and other bad writing. This is taking way too long. I should have split this into several entries. Wait, I better put this behind an lj-cut. ( Here goes )
