Since we're having fun listing the movies, I thought we should list some of our favorite books, both from childhood and adulthood. We've sort of done this before but not complied in one place. Maybe it will generate some new ideas!
So-, to begin:
From Childhood: The Laura Ingalls Wilder series
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The Hobbit
From High School:
East of Eden (it was a requirement but I loved it anyway!)
The Great Gatsby (ditto) (that and the fact that F. Scott and Zelda are buried in a local church plot near where I grew up- and Zelda died in a fire at the local asylum made everything seem that much more tragic)
Adulthood:
For mindless pleasure: The Sue Grafton mystery series (A is for Alibi, B is for Burgler, etc)
Love in the Time of Cholera
The Oldest Living Confederates Widow Tells All
The Nick Bantock series "Griffin and Sabine" (no one I knew had heard of these and then after Rick and I met, I was at his apartment and lo and behold, he had the entire series, too!)
I love autobiographies and recently have been reading collections of short stories as well. My current bedside table has "Katherine Graham's Washington" (a collection of writing about DC collected by Mrs. Graham over the years and publiched shortly after her death)- so far it's been really interesting
and what about the rest of you?
