Today is my husband's birthday, and as I did for my daughter in January, I decided to blog him a little birthday love by listing his ten favorite books. Funny that he and I are polar opposites, and yet, our book taste often intersects. So here it is for the man I lovingly and jokingly refer to as Marcos Aurelius after the great stoic philosopher (his first name is Marcos - didn't screw up the name of the dead philosopher). Happy Birthday, sweetie!
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Old Man and the Sea
- Love in the Time of Cholera
- The Great Gatsby
- The Sun Also Rises
- The Octopus
- The Merlin Trilogy
- Dune
- 1984
- The Alchemist
- (and as a guilty pleasures read) Tom Clancy novels
