NovelReaders.com Top Ten Books List

A short story about favorite books:

When I finished reading THE WINDS OF WAR (Herman Wouk) many years ago, I could hardly wait for the sequel which I knew Wouk was writing. You know how you feel about coming to the end of a book you love ... you wish you could just pick up the sequel and start in reading. Well, I had to wait something like SEVEN years before that next one came out! Still, it was well worth the long wait. If you read those two books now, you wouldn't have to wait! -- MARTY
