New Book List

After reading my post last summer about the 100 best books of all-time, my friend Dawn went on a quest to find the real 100 best books according the expert readers she has around her. So, she compiled a list of everyone's votes for the top books that everyone should read. I am going to post the unedited list for everyone's reading pleasure. She has also given us a task to keep track of the top 5 books we read during the year so that next year we can have a new list. Please feel free to send me any of the top books you have read during the year and I'll forward it to Dawn.

Also, for those of you who in Davis County, you should check out the Cyclops column because it talks about this very list...it's famous! I do agree with Cyclops on one item, there could be a mystery or thriller added in here, I'm going to work on that this year.
