We who are near the end of our lives are frequently asked to give advice to younger folks about life. Since reading has been an important part of my life, I have decided that I would share my top books with my readers. Beginning with novels (my favorite genre), I will list my top 100 of all time. For brevity sake I will list them in groups of ten, arranged alphabetically by author. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my selections. See how many you have read.  Enjoy!

101. Tolstoy, Leo – War and Peace

102. Twain, Mark – The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

103. Updike, John – Rabbit, Run

104. Vonnegut, Kurt – Slaughterhouse Five (and all others by this author)

105. West, Nathaniel – Miss Lonelyhearts

106. Wilde, Oscar – The Picture of Dorian Gray

107. Wolfe, Thomas – Look Homeward Angel

108. Wouk, Herman – The Caine Mutiny
