No Peter Pan?
I'm glad that Ender's Game at least received an honorable mention or I don't think we could be friends. =) And I like to think if we ever lived in the same place and got a chance to know each other we would be good friends.
I've only read like 5 of these :( and Chronicles of Narnia is definitely top 5 for me.
LIa! As soon as you said that, I thought, "How could I have forgotten Peter Pan!?" Clearly I have been influenced by so very many books. And that is definitely a favorite one. Ender's Game was my favorite book in high school, and I think I have read it more than any single other. I concur, that if that chance were to come our friendship (and future book clubs) would bloom.
Savanna, I love love Chronicles of Narnia. Forever and ever, amen.
