I've been meaning to do this one. From Simple Katie's blog
I've been discussing books with different people lately and wanted to post a list of some of my favorite books. This is by no means, complete or in any kind of order:
- The Portable Poe
- The Fall by Albert Camus
- Ingenious Pain by Andrew Miller
- The Inhuman Condition by Clive Barker
- Miles of Post and wire by Florence Corrigan {if you want this book, ask me for it}
- 36 Children by Herbert Kohl
- Unholy Ghosts by Ita Daly
- Wide is the Water by J.A. Hodge
- The Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
- You just don't Duct tape the baby by Norman Weinberger
- The Walls of Blue Coquina by Sam Harrison
- Agnus Brown by Brendan O' Carroll
- Midwives; A novel
- Art and Fear byDavid Bayles
- Once Upon a Winter's Night by Dennis McKiernan
I have more, but I went through my bookshelf and just picked them out as I went through them. You can see most of the books I have, no longer have, will read, or not, here.
My reason for posting this list is rather selfish. I'd like to start a meme of sorts, mainly because I'm always looking for new reading material. So if you are so inclined, post 15 of your favorite books on your blog and comment so I know to come check out your list, though I already read the regular commenters here on a regular basis... Katie
