Anything by C.S. Lewis is worth any of my time. Jane Austin is always great. I also am putting a lot of time into some James Dobson books on parenting which have been helpful. Gotta love those strong-willed children!

I believe you forgot The Best of Calvin and Hobbs.
Seriously, A Severe Mercy is one of my favorites too. Everyone should read it for premarital counseling. Maybe I'll call Rex.
