Top 100 books

Posted by Margaret on July 5, 2009

I love lists, especially book lists, so enjoyed the Globe’s top 100 books about New England or written by NE authors. You can check off the ones you’ve read and rate them; I have only read 35 of the 100, but just squeaked in by finishing Moby Dick last weekend (more on this once I’ve recovered). I also just started Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, but I love it and am half-way through, so maybe I could make my score 36. For local authors, we have On the Road, of course, and Massachusetts by Nancy Zaroulis of Chelmsford.

    A great list, Margaret. My family really enjoyed it and to our amazement we had read more of the books than we thought. Will help our summer reading choices. Thanks

    I was disappointed to discover I’d only read 26 of the books, but on a positive note, I got plenty to add to my own list of summer reading.
