My daughters "Tagged me" on Facebook and shared their list of 15 with me. So I responded in kind and am including the list on my blog. I realize I could add 10 or 20 or take any of these off but I'll stick with my guns.
Here are 15 books that I read that will always stick with me. Not in any order or degree of importance or with any explanation. Grisham didn't make the list and I have read most of his. Creighton could have had 3-4 on here. And do you remember reading JAWS by Peter Benchley when it came out! Talk about a page turner. These are books I own in hardback - because that is a true commitment. And books I would recommend to my friends. I wonder what a list like this really says about a person?
