17. And Ciderhouse Rules by Irving...
Sat Nov 3, 2012, 07:14 PM
Nov 2012

Those three books are in my Top 10 faves.

Also love all Pat Conroy (I AM from the South...), with the Prince of Tides being the best, IMO.

Poisonwood Bible was recommended earlier. I reread that every 3 or 4 years. Just love that book.

Wally Lamb - She's Come Undone or I Know This Much is True.

oh, there are just so, so many wonderful fiction books to read.
