Top 5 Books
« on: December 30, 2007 - 08:19:14 AM »
What are our favorite books? It could be something we read at any time, even being discoved years after initial publication, that we can always go back to :)

Here's mine (the first two having stood the test of time from when i was a skinny little Mopar nut ;)):

Harold and the Purple Crayon ~ Crockett Johnson
The Ghost of Dibble Hollow ~ May Nickerson Wallace
Macroscope ~ Piers Anthony
Rogue Warrior ~ Richard Marcinko  :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper:
Mighty Mopars 1960-1974 ~ Anthony Young  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


What's yours? :popcorn:

 :cheers:

Edit - sheesh...i got carried away there :bricks1: :misbehaving: - now it's at 5

 :bigsmile:

I never really was much of a book reader, but one that I did read in school was The Fountainhead.  Great book, I loved it.   :2thumbs:

No top five, sorry.   :sadwavey:

Da vinci Code/Angels and Demons by Dan Brown were great books,

My life in and out of the Ruff by John Daley was a good read.
