Let me, as They Say, Introduce You to a Few of My Friends

I think you can honestly tell a lot about a person from what they read. The most telling things, of course, are the books they liked.

That said, here are some of my favorites:

• The Dark Angel and its sequels, too by Meredith Ann Pierce
• Winter Rose by Patricia McKillip
• Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
• Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
• The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling
• The Chanters of Tremaris series (Tenth Power, Singer of all Songs, Waterless Sea) by Kate Constable
• Tithe by Holly Black
• Firegold, White Midnight by Dia Calhoun
• Certain poems by John Donne, Phillip Larkin (need to reread, really), and a few other poets I can't remember momentarily

There's much more at the tip of my tongue.
