My Favorite Books

I know that I have already posted a blog post about the top eight books people should read before they die but I think that there needs to be a list of my my favorite books because I'll be honest, just because I think should be read in one's lifetime does not mean it is one of my favorite books. So here are my favorite books. Some of the books on this list were no brainers and the others were harder.  Actually, come to think of it, the first two were the no brainers, after that I was quite unsure. The books aren't necessarily listed in order, these are just all books that I really enjoy and that I find myself oftentimes re-reading over and over again. This list will probably just keep growing as I read and re-read more books.

As you can tell from this list, my favorite author would most likely be Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkien Charles Dickens, P.G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie. I'm not a big fan of sad depressing books. Sometimes I find life depressing enough that I'd rather not read about it also. I like books that will make me laugh. This is not to say that I don't enjoy deeper books, obviously from my list you can tell that I do. It is one of my goals to hopefully read more deep books, not just theological but otherwise as well.
