Cat Herding Challenge

Hello, today, and for the next 6 months, I am a cat. Renay in her awesomeness is my herder. (She’s pointing me in the direction of AWESOME BOOKS but I hadn’t been listening to her until now.)
Here is a list of ten books I loved.
1. The Iliad by Homer
2. Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis
3. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami
4. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind
5. The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
6. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
7. Lilith by George MacDonald
8. Fairy Tale by Alice Thomas Ellis
9. The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
10. The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
Here are three books from other lists I’m reading for this challenge.
1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
2. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke ♥ ♥
3. The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera ♥
I’ll be reading and reviewing these books between May 1, 2008 and November 30, 2008. I know! It seems like a long time for three books, so I might just end up reading more from other lists after I finish these three.
PS: These are my book club selections through November so, uh, I’ll also be reading these.
1. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer ♥ ♥ ♥
2. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier ♥ ♥
3. The Princess Bride by William Goldman ♥ ♥ ♥
4. The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffeneger ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Ooh I get it, you listen to Renay when she suggests books, but you don’t listen to me when I suggest them, lol. Michelle, you are not going to close Pages are you? If you are please let me know.

Of course I’m not going to!
That is one of my top internet priorities, right after this site and my 365 days project at wherewerewe.org. 
I’m really excited about tomorrow - I’ve prepared my discussion post, I hope everyone enjoyed the book as much as I did!
I’m actually looking into reading the Diana Gabaldon books (at your request) but I’ll have to wait until I have a little more trade credit.
Once I finish the two books I am reading now and trade them into my store, I’ll be able to get that one! I spend so much $$ on books that I’ve made a promise to myself to *only* buy things with the credit I get from trading in books this year. It’s very hard!

Renay is a wealth of good book referrals. Whenever I start looking for new reads to get from the library, I browse what she’s read recently. =)

I loved The Book Thief and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I hope you enjoy them as well!

I’m doing the same challenge, and The Thirteenth Tale was on my list of ten books. I’ve got a list of books to read that’s a mile long, taken from the master list of books!

The book thief is wonderful!
I’m reading The Book of Lost things now and although I’ve only started I’m enjoying it.
I’ve read and love The Thirteenth Tale and Perfume but I don’t know the rest of them in your list (except for the Iliad which I should read some day!)
