Rhetick’s Favorite Books

Since I try to only read “classic” literature, I am not a very good
person for fun books. Let’s see, though:
All five Hitchhiker’s Guide books
All Harry Potter books
Okay, I started this email two days ago and thought that I’d go home and
look in my book case for more help. Sadly, almost everything in it is
serious. I came up with a few more, though:
Cats Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut (I think that that’s the one with ice-9 in
it)
Tortilla Flat - John Steinbeck - kind of Steinbeck depressing, but with
some good humor
Catch 22
Robin convinced me that popular literature can be good, too:
Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follet - pretty good if you’re into middle
ages and you learn a lot about how to build a church, which comes in
handy all the time
Patricia Cromwell books - pretty fun murder mysteries. Kind of like
Quincy, but it’s a woman and she’s not on TV.
