Lists of Bests: Cmpkittykat's "Books to Read Before you Die" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/8267 This is a list of books that I've read through the last two - three years that I found were way worth consumption. If anyone ever asks to read a book, I'll ask them a few questions and suggest them one off of this list... This list is ever growing and no where near complete [because I am not near my library right now and can not remember certain titles]. These are all my favorite books!
