I thought that a great way to lead off a series of book reviews is to make up a list of my favorite books. As I started putting my top ten list together, I ran into a problem…too many books made my list. Since this is my web-site and I make the rules, I decided to keep to my top ten theme, but have a list for fiction and a list for non-fiction.
My Top Ten are not in any particular order so they are not numbered:
Top Ten Fiction Books
- Atlas Shrugged
, Ayn Rand
(my review)
- The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
, J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Chronicles of Narnia
, C.S. Lewis
- The Civil War Trilogy
, Michale Shaara
- Gabriel Allon Series
- Kane and Abel
, Jeffrey Archer
- The Complete Far Side
, Gary Larson
- The Amityville Horror
, Jay Anson
- Dilbert 2.0: 20 Years of Dilbert
, Scott Adams
- State of Fear
,
Ok that is way more than ten books, but since this is my web-site…déjà vu all over again.
