| This is a list of my favorite works of fiction. It's incomplete. I'm going to work on a list of non-fiction books as well. And finally for those in the SCA I will create a recommended reading list. I've starred (*) my absolute favorites. I'll consider doing a list of favorite short stories. A few of these books, however, are a collection of short stories or novellas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
