They'...I always love reading your Top Ten posts. They're always so well thought out, with an intriguing mix of books. Confession- I have never read The Bell Jar or Memoirs of a Geisha! SHHHH! I really must get to The Bell Jar sometime. I haven't read Watership Down either. I just checked -it was published in 1972, it's one of our 1001 books, so I think next year will be the perfect time to schedule it- maybe you will get time to reread it! I've never read Beverly Cleary either (so many gaps!), maybe 2012 will be the year to read her too. It's just that every time I read a great book by a writer I want to read more of them, there really are too many great books to read aren't there? How will I ever get them read in this life time? I read The Secret History when it came out, and remember just Loving It. I don't remember all that much of it, and would be interested in trying to read it again sometime.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-58910002969513577802011-08-25T12:57:52.834-05:002011-08-25T12:57:52.834-05:00Ender's Game is one of my top 10 bookes ever. ...Ender's Game is one of my top 10 bookes ever.
