 | Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe
Buy used from: $0.01 I didn't want to read it, but am glad I did. Very hard to read, but the characters will never leave you.
|
 | Shogun by James Clavell
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.15 Wheels within wheels, within wheels. Did I mention that it is filled with intrigue?
|
 | Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 1) by Frank Herbert
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 More wheels within wheels - No way the rest of the series could measure up to its start.
|
 | Tunnel in the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $3.88 This "tunnel" was my way to escape high school study hall. I never forgot it.
|
 | The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: $53.55 / Used from: $47.20 I read it for enjoyment. All of a sudden, my professor asked a question about the genre that nobody else could answer.
|
 | To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 Very good. Better than the movie. The little boy next door is based on Truman Capote, who was one of Harper Lee's childhood friends.
|
 | The Power and the Glory (Penguin Classics) by Graham Greene
Buy new: $9.75 / Used from: $3.60 This one needs to be on my list, somewhere. It is NOT light reading, although I see one of its reviewers seemed to think so.
|
 | Starman Jones by Robert A. Heinlein
Buy used from: $4.07 This one, along with Citizen of the Galaxy, Time for the Stars and Tunnel in the Sky, were some of my most enjoyable. Heinlein lost it when he decided to try to write sex scenes.
|
 | They Shoot Canoes, Don't They? (Owlet Book) by Patrick F. McManus
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.01 Probably not to be confused with great literature, but I laughed my head off all three times I read it.
|
 | The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain Library) by Mark Twain
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $1.22 I know they keep talking about how great Huckleberry Finn is, but my favorite has always been this one. I read it early in life and several times afterwards.
