Favorite Books

I have a confession: One lesson I learned in college is that I didn’t have to read the course work in order to graduate with a high GPA. This disturbed me because I majored in English.

Here is my current top ten (follow the hyperlinks to read about why I love each book):

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas
    2. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
    3. The Horse and His Boy, C. S. Lewis
    4. Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
    5. Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie
    6. A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
    7. Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien
    8. The Things they Carried, by Tim O’Brien
