Conan seems to like the book a lot. An interview, when asked, "Conan, what is best in life?" Conan replied: "Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. And Red Shadows by Robert E. Howard."* * I may be mixing my movie and book quotes. |

I nominate Lilith by George MacDonald.
MacDonald was a Christian Universalist who believed that all people would ultimately be saved, and although his theology was far removed from the theology of C.S. Lewis, his writings had a profound influence on the historian. In this fantasy, the protagonist, Mr. Vane, after following a mysterious librarian through a mirror to a parallel dimension, has many adventures in that strange realm and meets Adam's first wife, Lilith. ePub / Kindle Last edited by WT Sharpe; 09-27-2014 at 12:27 AM. |

With my 3rd and final vote, I nominate The Book of Snobs by William Makepeace Thackeray.

Since my daughter wanted me to read Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to her again this weekend, I will nominate The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling as my last nomination.
