Here are mine; I may edit this post later as more occur to me:
- Sherlock Holmes (all of them), by Arthur Conan Doyle
- The Lord of the Rings, by: J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Bachman Books, by Stephen King
- The Count of Monte Christo, by Alexandre Dumas
- A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens
- short stories, by Edgar Allen Poe
- The Vampire Chronicles, by Anne Rice
- Dracula, by Bram Stoker
- Don Quixote, by Miguel Cervantes
I'm sure Tolkien will be a popular one. For those of you who liked LoTR and The Hobbit, look into his short stories. I bought one book, I can't recall the exact title, but it had 'green' in it, and I remember really liking it. I couldn't get through The Silmarillion though. |
I was tempted to put A Tale of Two Cities on my list also but my list was just getting so long. And while I love Sherlock, my favorite memory of Doyle was discovering he'd written something I liked even better, The White Company.
And I remember reading Dracula one night in college, staying up all night and blowing off a morning class to finish it. I was amazed it wasn't like the movies hehe...
