I’ve only read four out of the list of 12. And once. I shall try and share your accomplishments. Thank you again for sharing.
Also, Norbert, I’ve just realised that not only are you a beautiful writer, you are multi-talented and multi-lingual.
I have read Le Petit Prince (in both French and English) and Catcher in the Rye more than once…but only 4 others on the list. 🙂
Treasure Box does not warrant reading unless an O.S.C. fan. Time Pressure is a time travel story, but very hard to find in print now. You can skip that one. Vox is very unique. Not classic literature, but very, very different. All others are classics. The Stand, being Stephen King, might be viewed differently, but it is, in my opinion, by far the best King novel ever. – Enjoy!
I’ve actually read a couple of Orson Scott Card books (Enders Game/Speaker for the Dead) because I am a big of a sci-fi buff. 🙂
Ahh, read Pathfinder then. Time Travel and Mystery, all in one. There is a review of it on my blog, too, if you care.
