another damn list

[Joseph Tracy]

 The more I looked at the lists of favorite books The more I realized how little I have in common as a reader with other readers on this list. So tonight I tried to list books from this century that stand out in my memory.

Peter Hoeg- History of Danish Dreams
Yevgeny Yevtushenko- Wild Berries(novel) and all his poetry
Essays of Wendell Berry (and poetry)
Richard Adams- Watership Down
Thomas Klise- The Last Western
Zora Neale Hurston - Their Eyes Were Watching God
Frederic Buechner- Godric, The Book of Bebb
Barry Lopez- Desert Dreams
Barbara Kingsolver- The Prodigal Summer
Annie Dillard- Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
Jane Smiley- Greenlanders 
Thomas Pynchon- Z, Vineland, Crying of Lot 49
Howard Zinn- A People's History of the United States
Gabriel Garcia Marquez- 100 years of Solitude
 Michael Chabon- `The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
 Mark Halprin- A winters Tale
Nog- I forget who wrote it
JRR Tolkien- I like it all
Jim Dodge- Fup, A Duck
Maxine Hong Kingston- Woman Warrior
C.K. Chesterton - The Man who was Thursday

Anyways I for one will be sampling from the lists offered
