I'd say the five I've listed are the books I've read the most times. I suck at lists.

I haven't been reading much at all since I moved to CO

Need to get to it... this thread will help out.

very very true, although I really got bored with the whole "Sonny's mistress and the vagina surgery" tangent...

I had a beat up old copy in my old car for about 4.2 years. Not sure if I still have it but it's probably totally destroyed now...
