    A great list to be sure! Many titles that are destined to be considered “great classics” in years to come!

    Excellent list! I’m not a fan of Harry Potter (I know, I’m the only person, ever), but I love The Color Purple, The Green Mile, and my favorite book ever is Where the Heart Is. I’ve been wanting to read What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day for years.

    Oh, I love finding other avid readers! I have read everything on your list…and “The Stand” is a classic. They should have classes on it like they do “Lord of the Rings.” Or maybe they do :-)

    We have a lot in common from your “about you” list. Very nice to meet you!
