Author Comments:
***I have neglected to include most books read prior to 6th grade. There are several reasons for this; the most important: I can't remember most books I read before then. (And by books I mean novels/chapter books).
Which are your favourites?
Right now I would say The History of Love by Nicole Krauss, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger.
