Need A Reading List for 2019?

I read continuously from all genres and all arenas of nonfiction. In my 64 years I've read some stinkers, but I've also read some that have delighted me no end. Some, like The War of the Worlds and Journey to the Center of the Earth, I have reread dozens of times.

What follows is a list of books that are my favorites and I would encourage you to seek them out and spend time with them yourself. They range from science fiction to fantasy to dark fantasy to horror. Some are in the public domain. Some like Forsythe's Bishop's Landing will be almost impossible to find. I have omitted the books everybody knows such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy or the first three books in the Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever series which are also favorites of mine, but almost everybody has read them.

So let me introduce you to some old friends of mine. They are guaranteed to entertain. I have listed them in alphabetical order by the author's last name. Links are for works in the public domain.
