I was asked by an inmate at the jail to put this together since I won’t be at the jail to recommend books after next week. Things to keep in mind before reading my list:
1. I put this together in a couple of minutes using reminders from my ratings on Shelfari.
2. When I say favorite I don’t necessarily mean well written, classic, etc. Just books I enjoyed and have stuck with me.
3. I cheated and put three series in a spot instead of individual books.
4. I welcome comments, but don’t really care if you didn’t like these books, They are my favorites, not yours.
So, here is my list:
Twenty Favorite Books All Time:
1. The Stand by Stephen KIng
2. Swan Song Robert McCammon
3. Neverwhere Neil Gaiman
4. To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee
5. Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry Mildred Taylor

7. The Vampire Lestat Anne Rice
8. The Sicilian Mario Puzo
9. Bridge to Terabithia Katherine Paterson
10. Green River Rising Tim Willocks
11. The Shotgun Rule Charlie Huston

While my writer’s block hiatus continues, please enjoy this “throwback Thursday” post and make fun of my favorite books.

I haven’t met anyone else who enjoyed An Abundance of Katherines- and I loved it.
A Time to Kill was a super book too.

I think it’s Green’s best book and I’m always disappointed when I read a new one by him.

I just finished Looking for Alaska- I think that was his first? I found it very sad. Trying to reach/ search for an elusive female figure seems to be a common theme in them all.

It was his first and I liked it as well. I’ve not really liked the rest.
