I forgot about Mary Stewart’s great Merlin series, which I discovered as a teen and loved! I’ll have to read The Crystal Cave again.

I realize I’m over the limit but I had to get Craig’s book in there, too! Funny that fiction came to mind first because these days I’m reading mostly non-fiction. Rising Tide was a great read - all about the big flood in the 20s we heard about as kids. I’m now in the middle of Ghosts of Spain, a book about modern Spanish culture and Franco’s legacy.
