Updating my favs

After a long time I read ....guess what......Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys.....hahahaha....I spotted them with a friend's teen sis and with nothing better to do read thru. The mysteries are of course now predictable, but I remember as a teen I used to love reading them. Which reminded me I got to update my list of fav reads. The more I read the more the list changes with additions and a sometimes few ousts too. So heres my latest.......
Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
George Orwell - Animal Farm
Ken Kesey - One flew over the cuckoo’s nest
J. R. R. Tolkein- Lord of the Rings
Arthur Golden - Memoirs of a Geisha
Henri Charerie - Papillion
Charles Dickens - A tale of two cities (my first classic)
Arthur Conan Doyle - Sherlock Homes
The Inner Courtyard – A collection
Daphne du Maurier - Rebecca
Jerome K Jerome - Three Men in A Boat
Dan Brown - Da Vinci Code (loved the way he used history to tell a convincing story.....his sub-story plot sucks tho!!)
Emilie Bronte - Wuthering Heights (story ok, the writing style...gripping)
Michael Frayn - Noises Off (its a play)
R.K. Narayan - Malgudi Landscapes and essays
P.G. Wodehouses - All with Jeeves
