10 books that have never left me

9/5/2014

Recently, several of my Facebook friends posted lists of their ten favorite books, and I decided to give it a go. Paring the list down to ten was difficult--those I omitted cried out, asking "Why not me?" Even a list of twenty wouldn't hold enough. However, these are the books I'd carry with me to reread again and again if I were lost on a desert island or stranded on Mars. At least, this is my list today. Tomorrow I might choose differently. 

  • Clan of the Cave Bear  (Jean Auel)
  • Replay  (Ken Grimwood)
  • Flowers for Algernon  (Daniel Keyes) 
  • Outlander  (and the rest of the series by Diana Gabaldon) 
  • Jane Eyre  (Charlotte Bronte)
  • Ender's Game  (Orson Scott Card)
  • Les Miserables  (Victor Hugo)
  • It  (Stephen King)
  • Pilgrim at Tinker Creek  (Annie Dillard)
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone  (and the rest of the series by J. K. Rowling)

What ten books left a mark on your soul, psyche, or heart?
