My Favorite Books

Ever since my laptop screen went haywire, I have written very little at all; however my total year’s word count was so far ahead of schedule that I only fell behind my goal just a few days ago. Not bad!

During that time I have done a lot of thinking and some reading. I decided that I don’t want to write for writing’s sake, but rather write what I want to write. So I’m somewhat revamping this blog, but to kick it off I figure I should list my all-time favorite books. Harry Potter takes up so many of the top spots that I’m listing my top twenty favorite (nonreligious) books.

There are at least a few books I haven’t yet read but intend to that I am pretty sure will make this list – The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

My top 20 List:

1. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling

3. Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince by J. K. Rowling

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling

5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling

6. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling

7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling
