I forgot to mention Janet Fitch's WHITE OLEANDER -- that would be on my list of favorites. My 15-year old says it's the best portrait of a teenager she's ever read.

Also, John Steinbeck's THE GRAPES OF WRATH, Virginia Woolf's A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN, and Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE are on my favorite-reads list.

Also LETTERS OF E.B. WHITE and ESSAYS OF E.B. WHITE.

CROOKED LITTLE HEART by Anne Lamott
AWAKENING THE BUDDHA WITHIN by Lama Surya Das (for a beautiful and comprehensible explanation of Buddhism)

And an old, probably out-of-print children's book that had me riveted when I was ten years old --THE FORGOTTEN DOOR by Alexander Key.

I know none of the staff…almost at all, but I guess Jessica for list #1.

Very nice Vonnegut showing on the lists so far…like it!

Or is there a teacher stowaway on your staff???

I confess that I have no idea who likes what: if I wrote up a list of my favorites, it would look pretty much like these lists -- as though five people had compiled it. It's fun finding James & the Giant Peach on the same list as The Road.

Am I the only one in the world who liked Donna Tartt's The Little Friend more than A Secret History? By the time I was finished, I loathed Bunny so much I'd have happily pushed him over a cliff myself. It just seemed like a bunch of privileged rich kids indulging their weird conceits.

I really need to finally read Catch-22.

I'm guessing Jane for list #1, and Jim for list #2.

I'm probably wrong. It's hard to tell. I'm often surprised by what I find out my own family reads, let alone other people.

I, too, loved THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE, and A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY. The last title is my favorite John Irving book ever.

I'm going to guess that Michael made this list.
