I don't think I could come up ...No, not sorry! I don't think I could come up with a top 5 either!<br /><br />The problem with classifying literature as great or sub-par or average, obviously, is that the judgment is so subjective. Not only are we mulling over how well the book is crafted, but we are looking for something that speaks to us--- something that brings us an emotional response, that makes us think---and that is going to be unique to each individual.<br /><br />My favorite books are like my friends, and I don't think I could rank them. I have different "friends" for my different moods: comedy when I need a laugh, tender when I need a cry, sentimental when I need reflection, mystery when my brain needs exercise, non-fiction when I need the facts, historical when I need perspective, spiritual when I need enlightenment..........<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of all the great reads I've been neglecting--time to find a new book!A Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077287848919577570noreply@blogger.com
