A Lyst of Books
.
It's hard to narrow down a list of my favorite books, but if you don't limit the list it just goes on and on all by itself, thus showing in its vanity its attempt to become a book itself! So I will try to keep it short. I am looking forward to hearing other's favorites, but please keep yours short as well, so I don' t have to spend too much on books this month...

Charles' List of Most Favorite Books Ever:
.
- Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkein
- The Phoenix Guards by Steven Brust
- Yesterday's Children by David Gerrold
- The Riddlemaster of Hed by Patricia McKillip
- The Sword of Truth: Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind
.
OK it's hard to stop but there they are. There's an awful lot of good books left off this list, so help me out...

P.S. Heard from the job today, NOT moving to Arkansas after all.

I hedged about adding the Chottorr series by Gerrold, they are/were incredible, the rest of SciFi has caught up with him though...and the next book has been 'about to come out' for over 20 years
Last night we had dinner at the in-laws and I wandered up into my wifes old bedroom. On her old bookshelf were some titles that interested me
The Hobbit
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Book of Three
The Black Cauldron
I started the Hobbit last night. I also used Charlies technique and opened up to a random page in The Fellowship of the Ring. I came upon a very interesting poem about the Light from the Shadows!
