..used to think reading them was a waste of time. I am the never-waste-time-learning-so-read-non-fiction-instead type. Until...I joined a book club. I explored fiction. I wasted time on bad fiction. This is a list of fiction that I would want my own children to read one day. I usually purchase the less-expensive version via Kindle and then re-purchase a hardcover if it's a keeper to pass down to my children (as I believe that the traditionally bound books will one day either be obsolete or very expensive). This is growing list.
