You can only write ONE title   

I am thinking mine over.......I am trying to decide between LOTR, Pride & Prejudice or Les Miserables.....

If I can narrow it down.....I will let you know....

So, remember ONE title

I guess I'd have to say LOTR.... Brendan says it's all one book just divided by the publisher into three volumes, so I can sneak them all in under one title

Hate to be boring -- but just picking one, it has to be LOTR.

I was going to post "Anne of Green Gables'. Then I decided if I couldn't come up with something more sophisticated I would just keep quiet.

But I guess everyone knows I'm not very sophisticated.

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

It is hilarious, uplifting, and absolutely perfect.

Oh, and I am also the *world's biggest* Melissa Wiley fan. If you have a copy of Beyond the Heather Hills, be sure to do me the favor of glancing at the dedication!

To Kill a Mockingbird

Haven't read LOTR although it has a prominent place on the shelf. You have inspired me, it comes down tonight.

To Kill a Mockingbird is my husband's favorite book. Every few years, we read it aloud together. Great pick!

Oh, Chari, that's a tricky way to get more than one title in. Let's see ... I am trying to decide between The Great Gatsby, The Chronicles of Narnia, Till We Have Faces, Anne of Green Gables ... And if I were still 8 years old, Charlotte's Web would be it ....
