25 Books - 25 Years - Fiction

A BOOK LIST FOR OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY

Here is a list of 25 novels and short story collections that we have loved over the years. Please note that these are not necessarily the "best" books (although they are all very good ones). This is primarily a list of books that are all too often overlooked as new books are published. So it is not necessary to include a book like The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, which is still merrily selling. Know also that we could have made the list twice as long and that some of the books that we wanted to include are not in publication at this time.
