10 Favorite Books

Readers don't always write, but writers always read.

What are your ten favorite books? What do they have in common?

If I were only allowed 10 books on a desert island, here's my list:

1. The Bible

2. Pride and Prejudice

3. The Count of Monte Cristo

4. Moby Dick

5. Ivanhoe

6. The Lord of the Rings trilogy

7. Shakespeare's plays

8. Crime and Punishment

9. The Chronicles of Narnia

10. Winnie-the-Pooh

My mother says that the best books are always too short. I guess that is what all of these have in common: they are long and complicated, even Winnie-the-Pooh. The cleverness and intricacies of all of these books keep me coming back to discover more each time I read them.
