Zen and the Art of Marshmallow Maintenance
Some of the great literature of the twentieth Century. And now its your turn to focus your thoughts on your list of great literature. What ten books have made an impact in your life? Are there books you re-read because they make you feel good (or bad, I guess)? Are there books that gave you words to live by?
Not all who wander are lost. - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. - Animal Farm, George Orwell
Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world's problems? - Calvin and Hobbes
God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising which might be compared to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules and who smiles all the time. --Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet
and Shakespeare's classic: Hamlet (holding a skull): "This is Yorick, I can tell." Horatio: "Boy, you must have known him well." - Green Eggs and Hamlet
So start your list. Then start to narrow it down from the 35 you thought of to 10. Tell us what you liked about the book, what impact it had on your life, maybe a quote you lived and loved.
The clock is running - You may now begin - Time's a wasting - Have you even started yet?
As they say at the Bulls games, "Come On!!!!!!". Or as Venkman says, "See you on the other side, Ray".
Mary - no excuses this time. Publish or die (of a thousand snaky Whimzy licks). No wallflowering this time.
