My Top 16 Favorite Books

Each clump is in no real order, but the clumps are in order. If that made sense. I'll talk about each of these books at some point in time throughout the running of this blog, but this should let you know what you're getting into if you read this thing :) Also, I didn't put the Bible on here, but if I had to pick one book to keep, that would be it. So, technically, this should be "My Favorite Books Not Including the Bible," but regardless, enjoy. Also, it should be noted that I am not including series in this list (so LOTR, Harry Potter, Millennium, Percy Jackson, ect, are missing); this list will be making it's appearance sometime.

My Top Six Favorite Books:
Sir Cedric Rides Again by Roy Gerrard
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
East by Edith Pattou
Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien

Next Five:
The Stand by Stephen King
Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
Beauty by Robin McKinley
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Next Five:
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgston Burnett
Mattimeo by Brian Jacques

Also deserving of mention: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Timeline by Michael Crichton, Holes by Louis Sachar, A Ring of Endless Light by Madeline L'Engle, Metamorphosis: The Sorcerer by Jack Whyte, King of Wind by Marguerite Henry, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Matilda by Roald Dahl, The Giraffe The Pelly and Me by Dahl, Avalon High by Meg Cabot and The Morning Gift by Eva Ibbotson. And actually, Marguerite Henry and Roald Dahl are genius'. So you will read more about them :)
