My first Top 10 List — Top 10 books

I always enjoy reading other people’s Top 10 lists, and I thought to myself that I’ve never done one. Usually I’m not great at picking favorites, but just for fun I decided I’d put together a list of ten books that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed over the past few years, plus a few extra just because I can’t narrow it down to ten.

Keep an eye out for some reviews of these books in the future. I have actually written some for another site I used to run, so over the next week or two I’ll try to get a couple posted up here. Also, for a list of all the books I’ve read over the past couple years, take a look over here.

Here is my list (in no particular order). What are some of your favorites?

• Shantaram – Gregory David Roberts
• Dharma Bums – Jack Kerouac
• The Sun Also Rises – Ernest Hemingway
• Siddhartha – Hermann Hesse
• The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
• A Farewell to Arms – Ernest Hemingway
• Crime and Punishment – Fyodor Dostoevsky
• Life of Pi – Yann Martel
• Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen – Chris McDougall
• A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail – Bill Bryson

And some runners up:

• Eat, Pray, Love – Elizabeth Gilbert
• On the Road – Jack Kerouac
• Into the Wild – Jon Krakaur
• Veronika Decides to Die – Paulo Coelho
