7 books that have stuck with me


The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien – read this about once a year.

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis – Read all 7 books in Chronicles of Narnia every 2 years or so. So much packed into such a short book.

The Name of the Wind, Patrick Rothfuss – Best book I have read since Lord of the Rings.

Ulysses, James Joyce – toughest book to read, want to read it again. Maybe will not take as long the next time around.

Dharma Bums, Jack Kerouac – 1st Kerouac I read thanks to my college roommate. another college friend and I quote it still over 20 years later.

Paper Towns, John Green – related to main character who is a lot like me but he has balls to do things I only keep in my head and never actually do.

Dandelion Wine, Ray Bradbury – For me, it is essential summer reading. memoir/scifi/fantasy(?) perhaps.
