A readers profile.

George, my brother in law, wanted me to come up with a list of my ten favorite books ever.   The hard part of that it's a narrow slice of a broad category...if he wanted my ten favorite thrillers or books that made me laugh, it might be easier, but as it is I'm left comparing stephen King with Henri Nouwen, and my list is full of books that are all over the map.  Here's what I'm looking at giving him so far.  I want to annotate it, but I need to just look at the list first.  

1.  Till we have faces by C.S. Lewis

2.  The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

3.  Reaching Out by Henri Nouwen

4.  The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

5.  The Lord of the Rings, By JRR Tolkein

6.  The Dark Tower by Stephen King  (I know this is cheating to put 7 books in one slot, but I don't care.)

7.  Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard

8.  The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

9.  ?  I'm tempted to put something by Chuck Palahniuk here, but don't know what to pick.

10.  The Peaceable Kingdom by Stanley Hauerwas
