I have just rediscovered my passion for reading.
Damn you!!! I already had a pile of books left to read. Now you got me hooked on most of the above. ;D
What a great walk down memory-reading-lane. and a great pick for the #50th on this list ~ touche ~
I submit that with these books, we’d never be lonely. We will be friends to all, because we understand all, the good, the bad, and all the rest of us, in between.
I kept waiting for Proust…yup, in there! And ending with JJ—perfect. I posted on our Facebook virtual bookgroup, “What Books (Be Honest) are on your Bedside Table” (member’s welcome!). Thanks….

Waiting for Marcel Proust….so, this list is fun and creatively done. That’s my post for the month….now, back to reading all 50!
Great post!
Fun post! I’m not too sure about the use of “us bookworms,” but beyond that, very clever.

I’ve learned (or relearned) recently that I should always write my blog posts for the current tome before I start reading the next one! I have been neglecting my post for “To the Lighthouse” due to burning the midnight oil reading “An American Tragedy”, which is a real page-turner. Apologies!!
While I continue with that effort, please enjoy this awesome post that fits our project perfectly, reblogged from Qwiklit.com, one of my favorite sites. Be sure to read all the way to #1 on this list of “50 Reasons You Should be a Bookworm”.
Keep reading! – Heather
