Best is a tough label to place PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 23/02/2010 03:43:09 AM
The best book that I read aloud to my wife that got me the best sex is not the same as the best book that displayed the beautiful use of the language. How about what book made me think about like the most? All of these are different.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Babery was pretty good.
Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill was a cool horror book.
Between Lovers by Eric Jerome Dickey was the most interesting book about a threesome I read so far this year (though certainly not the only one) .

I'll be finishing book 29 for the year tonight. Among those there are probably a good dozen 'bests' at something in that stack. Then again the year is young.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?
