I read Atlas Shrugged 2 Summers ago and though it was a grind getting through it, it was definetly an intriguing read.
I read Les Miserables last year and enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing the Production sometime on Broadway. John Adams is probably my favorite book. McCullough's follow up "1776" was solid, but I didn't like it as much. Ghost Soldiers is one of the more harrowing accounts of WWII I've ever read. Some of the images are burned in my memory.

This will no doubt get me in trouble, but the best book I have ever read is probably Gone With the Wind. If you have only seen the movie you won't understand what I'm saying. You may also have to be from the south.

I thought A Tale of Two Cities was one of the best ever. I also liked Uncle Tom's Cabin a lot. Moby Dick was one of the worst books ever written. |

I couldn't name ten but many of those named are fabulous. Two novelas in German are at also at the top of my list, Faust by Goethe Nathan der Weise by Lessing I also liked Draussen vor der Tuer about post war Germany. Die Verwandlung by Kafka is worthwhile. The Count of Monte Cristo is beloved by me. Les Mis must be considered my favorite.

I wouldn't admit to have read it if I did. I know I lack breeding coming from coalminer/rancher stock, but even I know to avoid chick books.
