Top 5 Books

We've all got our Top 5 Movies, T.V. shows and Albums, so the only natural extension of this would be to list your Top 5 books. They can be Novels, Graphic Novels, Stage Plays, fiction and non-fiction as long as it's printed on dead trees feel free to include it.

My Top 5 books are as follows:

1. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
2. WATCHMEN written by Alan Moore, art by Dave Gibbons.
3. Looking for Alaska by John Green
4. Paper Towns by John Green
5. Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron

Permalink Reply by The Smart Alec on May 2, 2009 at 4:26pm: I just love the imagery and wordplay of the entire book. Love books about monsters/supernatural beings anyway, but love the content of the book overall.

My taste in books can be pretty weird, though. Have been neglecting my collection recently. Probably should start reading again.; ▶ Reply to This
