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