"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, we get a theme to list our top tens.
This week's Top Ten pick : Top Ten Favorite Books I've Read During The Lifespan Of My Blog
I started book blogging in mid 2006. There are many books which have been my best reads since then. To list 10 is not doing justice to all those great reads. Here I go listing the best ones I remember. Do click on the titles to read my reviews.

1) East of Eden by John Steinbeck
2) Crow Lake by Mary Lawson
3) The Road by Cormac McCarthy
4) Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
5) Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
6) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
7) The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway
8) I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb
9) Faces In The Fire by T. L. Hines

I haven't read any of these books, but I really do want to read The Book Thief.
I tried to come up with a list like this several years ago and failed miserably. I've only read one book on your list.
I like your list and it gives me some titles to read thanks! http://www.thecuecard.com/
Great list! I had trouble choosing my Top 10, too. So many amazing books got left out :( And I loved The Book Thief, too.
The Book Thief is a good one! It almost made my list....too many good ones over the last 2 1/2 to 3 years to list them all. Thanks for stopping by!
Great list! I would've put The Book Thief on my list but I hadn't written a review for it and it slipped my thoughts when I made my list! The Cellist of Sarajevo was also a great book but I think I read it before I started book blogging...I think...haha
Here's my TTT for this week =)
I must read The Cellist of Sarajevo. It sounds like a fascinating story.
