Ten Favorite Books

[MA-Caver]

Another thread got me to come up with this little quiz...the answers should be interesting.

If you were stranded on a deserted island and had to choose ten books/novels to read from what would they be.

Another thread (to minimize size) can be for movies, music, food, drinks, whatever!

My books ... not in any particular order
1. The Stand by Stephen King
2. IT by Stephen King
3. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Volumes 1-6 (hmm does that count???) by Stephen R. Donaldson
4. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
5. The Lord Of The Rings (in one volume) by JRR Tolkien
6. The Christ Commission by Og Mandino
7. Journey of the Cathesist (in one volume) by Alan Dean Foster
8. The Story Of B by Daniel Quinn
9. The Bible
10. Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster

I'm reading those at the moment, they're very good! Just getting started on the 3rd book this week

Fantasy lovers should try the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind as well, second best fantasy series Ive ever read after LOTR! The Wizard of Eathsea trilogy by Ursula K. LeGuin is good too.
