I love book lists! I know a few and I'll certainly check out the rest! Thanks for sharing.
My TT is up too.

Great books!
The Historian; I'm also reading it (in Dutch) but unfortunately I've been having too little time to continue lately.
I will try to find the other books on your list in the library here.
Have a great TT and thanks for visiting mine!

Ummmm, wow! I did mine on books this week too. (Books I read and loved as a child.)

I have The Historian too, on my TBR pile, and The Prophet, from which we did a reading at my wedding.

Thanks for the list! I just finished
The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd and I'm waiting to get The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel by Diane Setterfield, so I was looking for some reading ideas! You "read" my mind :)

LinknKnits said...

I read the Historian, too, but was a little disappointed in the ending. Loved Dogs of Babel, though! Good list!

The Meezers or Billy said...

Pooh and the Philosophers! That is our mommy's FURRY FURRY FURRY favorite book (ok, well that and Mists of Avalon are kind of tied).

Kukka-Maria said...

Two of those are on our bookshelf, too.

The rest of them are clearly above my agent's head and now, having seen your list, she feels incredibly stupid.

Great job! Now I don't have to do anything to make her feel stupid today! Thanks!

You have a great collection there, Zeus! I love these lists ... gives me a good idea of what is good out there.

Happy TT!

happy TT :)

Great list Zeus. I have not read any of those.

Thanks for stopping by my T13 13 Stress Relievers Edition

Sadie said...

Wow, Zeus. My mom doesn't read very many books. She always has one on the table next to the couch, and she looks at it like she wants to read it, but it never happens.

as long as she rubs my belly that's the most important thing.

I have a list today, too!

Which are your favorites Zeus?

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Zeus

YOU read LOTS!

*ABBY*

Melissa H. said...

Love the list. I have "The Tao of Pooh" here. I'll have to check out some of the books you listed!

Happy Thursday. Here's my TT.

I haven't heard of any of those. Looks like I have more books to add to my "must read" list!

Hey, if your crate can fit under the airplane seat, you're more than welcome to come to Maui with us! LOL!

Lisa said...

Ok, as sad as this may sound, I must admit the only books in my house right now are childrens books. Dora goes to school, and The Cat In The Hat dont count much do they! Looks like a great list though Zeus!

Very intriguing looking books there. The only book we have here on your list is The Prophet. I'd love to check out Pooh and the Philosophers; I've heard of that b4. I've seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ~ loved it. :)

Natsthename said...

I didn't know that cats could read!

I own none of those. I'm intrigued by the Pooh one, though. Thanks for stopping by my TT.

You have some very cool books in your list. I'll have to check some of them out.

Thanks for visiting my site! I too played Evercrack for four+ years on the Prexus server, took a little MMORPG break due to work then now have been playing WoW since it came out. It's all about the people you meet in those games that keep me there. Fun fun! :)

Grr

Tigersan said...

Me not too good at reading the books. Me starts to read them and then, around the end, me stops. Me blames "Reading a Rainbow" for this. He always read a story and stops just before the end. He has conditioned me to accept books this way ;)

I really liked reading The Historian. Are you enjoying it?
