This is stolen from the lovely and talented Chelle.

(This oneRob put in!)* "??" For those books you haven't heard of (I'll bold the ones I've read so it's easier for you to gauge my lack of education)

I think you'd like The Alchemist. It's very magical and fable-like. Good message. Yada yada. I enjoy Coehlo a lot in general.
Andi-
It's ironic you said that, I found a used copy last Sunday for .99 cents. I bought and will read it once I finish up my book on Thermopylae.
I have a feeling you read better books than I do. I have a lot of catching up to do.
Chelle-
Are you kidding? Look at my list here ... lol ... now, if it were magazines, I might be able to say I'm "well read".
this is an awsome list!!! i am currently reading Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald. It's a great read!! anywho, just this morning i was wondering what i should read next and seeing this list gave a few ideas. thanks!!
oh i also meant to write that you and i have the same taste in books but completely different tastes in music...no point no moral just thought i would share that with you :-)
i've also read the great gatsby several times.
you know, i wonder who came up with this list. i was surprised not to see alice walker or toni morrison on the list. and there's no chicano/latino literature on the list either. where's rudolfo anaya or sandra cisneros? julia alvarez?
i just thought those omissions were interesting.
Dude you need to finish Crime and Punishment!
Grapes of Wrath and Great Gatsby is good stuff
Sonrisa-
See, occasionally I have a good post. So we have different tastes in music? In what way?
Jen-
That's a good question. I would've included "Bless Me, Ultima" (one of my faves ... about my home state!!)
Lindsay-
One of these days I will read it. I just need to be more disciplined. I'm so weak ;)
