10 Books to Read Before You Die.

In the spirit of fall and Halloween and all the spooky stuff coming up I decided to host my first meme. 10 Books to Read Before You Die! (insert evil laughter here). So to participate just click the before coded in link and look at the meme post. Grab the banner and add you link to the Mr. Linky and tell me what 10 books I should read before I die.

My choices may not be all literary, but I think they are books everyone should read for fun and education and just they are awesome!

Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Márquez
Perfume by Patrick Süskind

I was thinking of putting Perfume in my list, too, but then I changed my mind. Forever Amber I do believe I have lying around here somewheres….

@heidenkind Forever Amber was banned at some point. I have some saucy covered Brit version lying around her somewhere. You should get to it when you need an easy period read.

@Deb You should get to Inkheart, the movie does it no justice!

I LOVED “Perfume” – so much so that it was one of the books I purposely looked for in German when I went to Vienna.

I was just commenting to Jenne that I didn’t think of Harry Potter…I have always wanted to know what the fuss is about when it comes to this series. Thanks for hosting this meme.
