Dear Ann, it's totally delightful talking about books. I sent a list to Denise Thompson about this. I enjoy fantasy books very much, but I thought I'd send in some books which have stayed in my mind the longest. Mind you, I really liked Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry trilogy but didn't think to mention it. I'm very recalcitrant when it comes to rating books because I don't care to do that. Each book I read in whatever genre gives me something. Right now I'm reading a book called The Bell At Seely Head by Patricia A. McKillip. I recommend Ms. McKillip's work to you because she tells wonderful stories. Regards, Kim Friedman. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ann Petrous Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2011 9:14 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Favorite 100 books Since we are doing this, I thought to put in my two cents. All of my favorite books are fantasy, so her ei go. 1. The Hary Potter Series 2. The Sword of Truth Series 3. The Entire Dragonlance collection. Lol Well, what I have ben able to read so far. Lol 4. The Death gate cycle 5. Lord Of The Rings 6. The Wheel Of time Series 7. The Chronicles of Blood and stone, and the Destinies of Blood and Stone 8. These books brought through emotions that I thought were dormant. The authors of these books, really know how to tell a story. 9. _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Valerie Maples Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2011 12:40 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Favorite 100 books 1.
