Dr. Peter Boxall's "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (2008 edition)"

Ta-da! I have reached the 50% level of both this list and the original list (I lost a lot of books in the changeover). I intend to keep going until I have completed both lists (provided I can find the books).

Indeed I do. I also read and enjoyed Edgar Sawtelle very much. I also like the novels of Gregor Maguire (“Wicked”; “Son of a Witch”) Terry Pratchett (“The Color of Magic”), Christopher Paolini (“Eragon”, “Eldest”, “Brisingr”) and lots of mystery writers.

You are right. I very much enjoyed both “The Eyre Affair” and “The Big Over Easy” by Mr. Fforde. Unfortunately, that’s all that our local library has.

Have you ever read “Prince Ombra” by Roderick MacLeish? It’s one of my favorites of all time, but it never gets on anyone’s list. Someday, when I make up my own list, it’ll be #1.
