And I could go on and on. There are so many more authors I love. I keep a book of all the books I read and the authors and whether I liked it or not. This is useful when I'm trying to remember something I've read. I also buy books as if they are going out of fashion and read and re-read. Martin says this is because I read them so fast the first time that I have to re-read again and again until I've got the whole story! As if! lol

I like your list, Valeri! You have several on yours that either were on my larger list before I cut it back to only 52 or that would have been on my list if I'd included books more than 100 years old.
ReplyDeleteI seldom reread books but useta be an avid buyer. I now use the library more now and a few years ago found bookcrossing.com and prefer to leave my books around town for others to find.
