booklist for journeyintoday

and for anyone else who cares to peruse these reviews.

in a recent conversation....okay SEVERAL recent conversations i was requested to put together a list of MUST read-books for journeyintoday. if you don't like this list....well, it probably wasn't meant for you anyway. if you do - good stuff - enjoy, comment, forward, whatever.

author comes first, then title, review, and asterisks indicate priority, not in terms of "read this first" but in terms of "be SURE you get to this". it is cut because it will be DAMN long. i am a bibliophile, after all. the two things i need to be truly at home in any place are my books and my cats. give me a third option and i will add my candles.....things you discover when you move.

DISCLAIMER: this list is going to be very heavy on philosophy/theology/fantasy/science fiction. i do occassionally read non-fiction and regular fiction and there is a sample of these things in this list, but i like what i like and i read what i like/what interests me. most of the non-fiction is human-rights related/political. most of the "fiction" is either pretty close to fantasy (cuz that's what i like) or qualifies as a "classic". 2eclipse= big snob.
