Stacia Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 My list of ten would basically be... three "classics": The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut three for fun/whimsy/ingenuity: The 13 ½ Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett Mr. Fox by Helen Oyeyemi three fascinating, fabulous, fictional accounts: Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides The Cat’s Table by Michael Ondaatje and one gripping non-fiction: Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-M- Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Stacia, I love your shelf. And Robin, I'm with you -- I still need more time to think about my choices. Poor me! (*wry grin*) My husband offered to get me a custom painting, and I can't decide... Shakespeare? Of course. Cat's Cradle or Slaughterhouse Five? The Mists of Avalon *and* The Once and Future King? Christie's autobiography? I think so, but what about Athill's Stet? And so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy in Australia Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well, thank you very much. I am now under a huge amount of self-inflicted stress due to trying to keep the list down to 10 :blink: This is going to take a whole lot longer than I thought... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
