Favorite Books

I have recently been thinking of my favorite books. I will list them here in no particular order.

1. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
2. The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
3. A Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier
4. Stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers by Mary Roach
5. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
6. Jane Austen Novels
7. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
8. The Stand by Stephen King
9.The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
10. Life of Pi by Yann Martel
11.The Road by Cormac McCarthy
12. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
13. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
14. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

This is I think my favorites but I am always looking for others. I have a few other favorites that I am not sure are all time I just haven't decided yet. Books like The Curse of the Narrows by Laura M. MacDonald or the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer or A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry are right up at the top. When I look at my list I wonder what these books say about me. Why these books and not hundreds of others. Some of these books would probably be on alot of peoples lists but some maybe not so much. For instance A Brief History of the Dead, I wonder how many people have read this book? If you haven't you are definitely missing something special because it is a book like no other. It certainly gives me a new way to look at life and death. I wish there was more time to reread these books over and over again. Maybe I will make some extra time to work them in and remember just exactly why I love these stories so much.
