This was hard to do Linda Send a noteboard - 22/04/2010 06:05:53 AM
and I'll likely have changed my mind somewhat until next time someone asks about favourite books.

My top 10 books (all books), in no order:
1.Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold (only chose one of the books since you forbade whole series)
2.Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanely Robinson
3.I, Claudius by Robert Graves
4.Rubicon by Tom Holland
5.Never Let Me Go by Kazou Ishiguro
6.I am Legend by Richard Matheson
7.Atonement by Ian McEwan
8.The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
9.Hyperion by Dan Simmons
10.Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton

My top 10 SF/F books, in no order:

4.Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
