It’s hard to believe no one mentioned one of the English language’s greatest books, “Alice in Wonderland.” This book has not gone out of print since it was published well over 100 years ago. It appeals to children and adults. The power of language never had so strong an examplar as this remarkable book. It never grows old, and it never stops being funny. I re-read it frequently, especially when I need to remind myself that humor can be found in just about anything; that little girls are made of a lot more than sugar and spice; and that the remarkably fluid and inclusive English language can be fashioned to say anything you want it to say, serious or silly.

The Dune series (6 books) by Frank Herbert, who took our entire civilization and made it a tiny part of his immense imagination.

The detail of his creation – after reading just the first book – leaves one with the feeling of a new existence, and the Earth a distant memory.

A delicious perspective.

Hunt for Red October… I had never really red much before this book. I got hooked.

Tolstoy’s “A confession” and Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” were the ones for me.
