I decided I better pull together my Top Ten Favorite Book List for the BW Teacher Reading Blog. This is so incredibly hard. I did not realize how much I have read over five decades and how much my taste in reading has varied! I did not even get into the many nonfiction books I’ve read and loved. I would be better off giving the ten in various genres or listing 10 titles per decade. Here goes an attempt and none of these are in any type of order.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman and everything he has written.
Additional tops picks of his Neverwhere, Stardust, Sandman series, Anasi Boys.
Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and everything, everything he ever wrote.
Additional top picks of his Breakfast of Champions, Welcome to the Monkey House, Timequake and so it goes.
Collected Stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, as well as, One Hudred Years of Solitude & Love in the Time of Cholera.
Dune series by Frank Herbert
Foundation series by Issac Asimov & everything else he wrote.
Going to Extremes by Joe McGinnis
Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury & everything else he wrote. (He loved librarians. I met him and received a huge hug from him!)
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Light on Yoga by B. K. S Iyengar’s
Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein
Mystery & Detective stories any and all. LOVE THEM! I started with author Agatha Christy & Sherlock Holmes stories during my 8th Grade year and am currently into James Patterson. Fun reads and I love to solve “who done it.”
