Some of you loved it from what I can gather, some not so much...do tell.

All Time Favorite Books

What books do you go back to time and time again? Or which ones left an impression?

Just in case you are stuck with some free time and want to go back through history to pick up a favorite past read, I thought I’d start a list of some of our all time favorites. For those of you that don’t know about “Book Lust,” I highly recommend you pick some up. It is a book about books…if you are in the mood for a good murder mystery, you can find some classics, some new read suggestions…I love these books!

My short list of favs:

Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway


What are your favorites? I’m sure I’m missing a ton in this list.
