Did you have a hard time limiting yourself to so few books? I did. I could have easily listed a whole bunch more including some of the ones you listed.
Thanks for doing this. I figured your responses would be interesting and I wasn't disaappointed.
I had to keep setting myself to thinking in different directions. I'd get stuck on the dog books and have to remind myself to think of those laugh-out-loud books like Douglas Adams, Pearson and Pratchett. I must have changed every list about four times.
