Someone challenged me to list my 50 favorite books. SO here you go. This is not an exhaustive list but just the ones that I came up with off the top of my head. They are not in order of preference just how they came out of my head and my database. Yes, I keep an Excel spreadsheet of all the books I read and have read. Yes I know it is obsessive. So what. Just read the list.
