If there is even one of these books that you haven’t read yet, viagra buy healing I envy you.
1.) To Kill A Mockingbird – If you only had one book in you…this would be the one you’d want it to be.
2.) Rose – The best book by America’s most underrated author. Martin Cruz Smith’s second Arkady Renko novel Polar Star is also absolutely phenomenal, viagra generic but I decided to limit myself to one book per author in the main section of this list.
3.) Heaven’s Prisoner – Prose so dense it may as well be poetry. James Lee Burke is a writer of mysteries, but the real mystery is why more people don’t realize he’s a national treasure.
4.) The Hobbit – The book the each part of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy wished it could be.
5.) Lord Foul’s Bane (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever) – Technically the first book in a long series. But, if you read even one of these books, you’ll forgive me for sneaking it onto the list.
6.) A Walk in the Woods – Bill Bryson needs to write more…now.
7.)The Once & Future King – Royalty in book form.
8.)The Last Unicorn – Absolutely beautiful. Like moonlight on snow. Peter S. Beagle’s first book, A Fine and Private Place, is also highly recommended.
9.) The Butcher’s Theater – Completely unlike any of Kellerman’s other books.
10.) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – I know…it’s too popular to be good. And yet, it’s no accident that these books are about magic.
You’ll notice this list is short on classics and non-fiction. There’s no Divine Comedy, Origin of Species, The Waste Land, etc… The classics are classics for a reason (and I love many of them), but the books I listed are ones that I never get tired of reading.
