Time in Vancouver:
AN INCOMPLETE LIST
MOST ENJOYED TO...
MORE NEW ORDER
Here is my list of most of the books I have read from MOST ENJOYED to... 

The list is subjective, so, just because a book is near the top for me, it won't necessarily be in the same order for you. I suggest reading them all and decide for yourself. 

You can't go wrong with any of these books, except for the bottom category: books that are filled with hatred, racism, homophobia, misogyny or any other deplorable bent. I really shouldn't have them on a positive page like this, but, oh well, they suck emphatically and by listing them I'm cleansing my mind by venting my disdain.
