Top Ten - Books
I’m always excited when I come across a new author that I know will make my “keeper†shelf, but these are books that I’ve read and re-read numerous times and still haven’t tired of them.
- “When the Splendor Falls†by Laurie McBain
- “Message from Absalom†by Anne Armstrong Thompson
- “Contact†by Susan Grant
- “Stardust of Yesterday†by Lynn Kurland
- “Down to a Sunless Sea†by David Graham
- “Knight of a Trillion Stars†by Dara Joy
- “Swan Song†by Robert McCammon
- “The Last Stand†by Stephen King
- “Guilty Pleasures†by Laurell K. Hamilton
- “The Dragonriders of Pern†by Anne McCaffrey
What are some of your favorites?

Too many books to count.
I have authors instead of just titles. Jennifer Crusie, Mary Balogh, Christina Dodd, Sandra Hill, Allison Brennan, Loretta Chase, Dick Francis, Charlaine Harris.
I could go on and on.

LOL, Liz, I haven’t read a single book on your top ten list. Maybe I should get busy . . .
Of the books that still stand out clearly in my mind after years and years, I’d say:
Midnight’s Children - Salman Rushdie
Possession - A.S. Byatt
Use of Weapons - Iain M. Banks
Most of Terry Pratchett
Most of Dick Francis
Most of P.D. James
And then so many others I cannot name them all.

Of course there are too many books to count, Edie. I was trying to put together a list of books that I’ve probably read at least ten times. Those are the keepers that I’d never dream of getting rid of.

That’s okay, Michelle. I haven’t read any on your list. You’ll notice that most of my books are either science fiction or paranormal romances.
I could say anything by Anne McCaffrey, Laurie McBain and Susan Grant. However, that wouldn’t be true about Stephen King. I liked most (if not all) of his old stuff. But the newer stuff? Not so much. I stopped reading him after “Pet Cemetary”.
