That exception will be revealed in my #1 choice. :))Jo-Anne Teal (jtvancouver)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10560042112608893203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192092613796233894.post-15583305380102587512012-02-28T23:36:16.755-08:002012-02-28T23:36:16.755-08:00Your #2 and #3 books I have not read (imagine that...Your #2 and #3 books I have not read (imagine that). Though I do remember seeing Robin Williams and at least part of the movie version of '..Garp', but then I agree, movies are rarely up to the challenge of the book. Both of these are now added to my must read list for next year. <br /><br />I just thought about it, but if more and more people keep listing their #TopTenBooks, then I may fill my reading list for the decade! ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232414333153665126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192092613796233894.post-77609252847095903532012-02-28T22:45:53.100-08:002012-02-28T22:45:53.100-08:00Well... this has to be on my "to read" l...Well... this has to be on my "to read" list now! Btw I am usually disappointed by films of books I've read, so that now I try and see a film and then read the book later - when possible.

I read Garp for the first time just a few years ago -at the time I didn't feel like I was loving it, yet it's really stuck in the my head over time.<br />I do have a question for you: Do you reread often? I was thinking about my own top 10 and I felt like they should be books I've read a few times, but there are only select few like that. Fewer than ten then I can think of There are just so many books out there, I hardly ever reread. How about you? You can tweet me back if you like. :-D<br />Enjoying the list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396795515314570563noreply@blogger.com
