Today is World Book Day...so I thought it would be a good time to re-post my list of my favorite books of all time.
By the way: this list doesn't include the Holy Bible, which I feel goes without saying is the greatest Book of all, and actually is really much more than a book.
Here it is, originally posted in October 2005:

Hello from the UK. I have so enjoyed reading your blog and looking at the photos.
It is a Beautiful spring day here. I have the doors and windows open, and the birds are twittering around the bird table in the garden. Sunday lunch is cooking slowly in the oven and our black labrador is standing guard in case anything should drop in her direction. My husband is cutting the lawn (first cut of the year) Berlated Happy new year to you
Hi,
Come and get free moving images.
Have a nice week.
