I have to say Out of Africa. It makes my head reel with the otherworldly descriptions. I am so humbled when I read it and witness Isak Dinesen’s imagination and humanity at work.

A random answer, but Cash by Johnny Cash is one I could read over and over. Then My Losing Season by Pat Conroy…then probably East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas (it’s one of the very few books I’ve ever read twice)

I always enjoyed Christy, by Catherine Marshall. (As with most things, the book was better than the movie/TV show.) And her other books are good, too. She led an interesting life.

It is confirmed – I’m the stupidest person interacting on this blog. I’d never heard of 10 of the top 100, much less read over half (Laura.)

I’m a Freak.

I love Economics.

Levitt’s “Freakanomics” is the best.

The Hiding Place. I can’t wait to read this biography with my kids. Also, since Michael doesn’t usually comment on his own Friday question, I will say one that we both agree is masterful…Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

Ender’s Game was good. So was Joy in the Morning.

I also enjoyed Harry Potter and Twilight.

I’m trying to force myself to listen to the classics on my Zune because I’m not a huge fan of reading them. And to think I’m the daughter of a British Lit teacher….

Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. And yes, I’ve read it. It took me a good 4 months. After that I read Twilight or something like that. That also took me 4 months. So you see I’m an indiscriminate slow reader.

The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee. It changed me forever.

I also love read The Chronicles of Narnia every couple of years. There are so many lessons packed into those little books and I get something new from them every time I read them.
