Crap, I have to think of 10 books I have read. I am about 1/2 way through Catch-22 which is incredibly good and outright hilarious, but as I am not actually done, I won't include it.
Here are my top ten, in a VERY particular order, just not one pertaining to favoritism:
1. The Hobbit (Tolkien)
2. LOTR: Return of the King (Tolkien)
3. The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol (translated by Pevear, Volokhonsky)
4. Moby Dick (Melville) And yes, I read every single one of the 603 unabridged pages!
5. Redwall (Jacques)
6. The Wind in the Willows (Kenneth Grahame, illustrated by Michael Hague)
7. Guns, Germs and Steel (Diamond)
8. Macbeth (Shakespeare)
9. The Princess Bride (Goldman)
10. Notes from the Underground (Dostoevsky)
This means of course that I will wake up at 4 in the morning thinking Damn why didn't I think of -----?
