Am I supposed to tag someone? I am not sure. I don't have a whole lot of friends on blogosphere or regular readers. Unmana is already done it. I sure would like to know what Ludwig's list looks like though. So, if you do come here and see this, consider yourself tagged.
Update: I also want to know what Mridula and Truman's list looks like. So, please, if you do come here - consider yourself tagged.

Thanks. I notice we seem to have read many of the same ones!
[unmana] That stuck me too. Thanks to you, I enjoyed doing this. It made me reflect on books I have read over the years.
Emma, if you can pick up The Hobit, it is a delightful tale. I have read many of the same as you. By the way, 'The Lord of the Rings' is missing from the list or did I skip it? I read it 1.5 times!
[mridula] No, I haven't read The Hobbit. I really should.
No, you haven't missed it; "Lord of the Rings" doesn't figure in the list - not sure why. But then, I don't totally agree with whats in the list either.
I sure would like to know what your list looks like.
thats a nice list emma.
try reading 'the kite runner' - i think u would like it.
