Favorite works of fiction.
Don't know if I could create a list of favorite non-fiction books, but 'Into the Wild' by Jon Krakauer would be at the top of such a list.

#1, 2, and 10 would probably be on my list, too. Have you read any other McMurtry novels?

Those are the only two McMurtry novels I have read.
Based on reviews, I don't think any of his others can quite compare, although I'm sure some are still probably good reading.

Great list! I loved Shogun and War and Peace.
