Novels I have read
Linda and I got on the topic yesterday of novels we have read. She seems to read about one a week. I have a long way to go to catch up. I guess my excuse is I spend more time trying to write my own than read others.
Anyway, here's the list. I hope I'm forgetting some. This in no particular order after number one. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster is the only children's book I will list, even though I do remember several others. I do not remember how old I was when I read The Phantom Tollbooth the first time, but any wordsmith, regardless of age, should read it. And wordsmith or not, you should read it. It's still one of the most enjoyable, comical books I've ever read. A true classic.
1. The Phantom Tollbooth (several times) _ Norton Juster
2. Shoeless Joe (after seeing the movie "Field of Dreams") _ W.P. Kinsella
3. Catcher In The Rye _ J.D. Salinger
4. A Tale Of Two Cities _ Charles Dickens
5. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court _ Mark Twain
